Pioneers of jet travel. The British and BOAC took a massive step forward into the jet age. However they overlooked a few things with cabin pressurisation and ran into some trouble after a series of accidents. Subsequently after the comet was re-entered into service after it's failings, Boeing and Douglas had learned from the mistakes De Havilland had made and propelled passenger transport into the jet age. Leaving the first jet airliner ... Very much in the history books 😔
