First Jet Air Liner Breaks Record -- The Vickers Viking about to take off for the record-breaking flight at London Airport today.The world's first jet-powered airliner, a Vickers Viking, yesterday flew from London to Paris in 34 minutes 7 seconds, a record. Against a stiff-head-wind, the Viking returned to London Airport in 36½ minutes. The machine made the world's first international passenger jet flight. It was piloted by 44-year-old Captain J. Summers, chief test pilot of Vickers-Armstrong Ltd. who piloted the first Spitfire ever built. The Viking is of the type used by British European Airways, Royce Nene jets which at full thrust can develop some 20, 000 hp. July 25, 1948. (Photo by Fox Photo).
