EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and innovative de Havilland DH.106 Comet 4C, registration XA-NAP, as it soars through the clear blue sky. The Comet 4C, manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during the late 1950s. Its distinctive design, featuring a swept-wing configuration and a jet engine, made it the world's first commercially successful jet airliner. In this image, we see the Comet 4C in the colors and markings of Mexicana, the Mexican national airline. The aircraft's elegant lines and streamlined shape are accentuated by the contrasting white stripe that runs along its length. The wings, with their distinctive sweep, appear to blend seamlessly into the sky as the Comet 4C glides effortlessly through the air. The Comet 4C was a marvel of its time, with a top speed of over 500 miles per hour and a range of over 2,000 miles. Its advanced design allowed it to fly at higher altitudes and cruising speeds than its propeller-driven counterparts, making it a favorite among passengers for its speed and comfort. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and innovation of the de Havilland DH.106 Comet 4C, a true icon of aviation history. Circa 1960.
