The de Havilland Vampire was Britain's second operational jet fighter, entering RAF service in 1946 and becoming the first jet aircraft to cross the Atlantic. The FB Mk.5 was the definitive fighter-bomber variant, featuring a strengthened wing with hardpoints for bombs and rockets, and served with both the regular RAF and Royal Auxiliary Air Force squadrons through the late 1940s and 1950s. The Vampire's distinctive twin-boom layout and compact de Havilland Goblin engine made it one of the most recognisable aircraft of the early jet era.
