The De Havilland DH.100 Vampire was the second jet aircraft commissioned by the Royal Air Force during World War II, with the Meteor being the first, though it did not see combat in that conflict. The Vampire served in RAF front-line squadrons until 1955, and was also used in numerous countries. Nearly 3300 units were built, a quarter of which were under license
