Initial flight of the first prototype was on 20 September 1943, with Geoffrey deHavilland JR, company chief test pilot and son of the founder, at the controls.
DeHavilland had developed this technology and put it to good use with the company's Mosquito and Hornet aircraft.
After the end of the war, the studies focused on a tailless airliner with four deHavillandGhostturbojets (an improved follow-on to the Goblin, discussed in a later chapter) that was given the company designation of "DH.108".
