First flying on May 20th, 1937 the Albatross was considered one of the most graceful-looking aircraft of the era. It was made of the same material that the famous Mosquito would implement (ply-balsa-ply sandwich) and flew mail and trans-European flights. It served with BOAC and the RAF in 1940, with the latter using it for courier flights between Iceland and Britain with 271 Squadron, but both were lost in landing accidents just 9 months after being pressed into service.
The Albatross came in two versions: A 5-passenger variant and a 22-passenger variant for various trips in Europe. None survive today.
