The de Havilland DH 112 Venom was a British postwar single-engined jet aircraft developed from the de Havilland Vampire. It served with the RAF as a single-seat fighter-bomber and two-seat night fighter. The Venom was an interim between the first generation of British jet fighters – straight-wing aircraft powered by centrifugal flow engines such as the Gloster Meteor and the Vampire and later swept wing, axial flow-engined designs such as the Hawker Hunter and de Havilland Sea Vixen.

 

Der Havilland DH 112 Venom war ein britisches Einmotoriges Jet-Flugzeug der Nachkriegszeit, das aus dem de Havilland Vampire entwickelt wurde. Es diente mit der RAF als Einsitziger Jagdbomber und Zweisitzer Nachtjäger. Die Venom war eine Zwischenlösung zwischen der ersten Generation der britischen Jetjäger - mit ungepfeilten Flügeln, die von Zentrifugaltriebwerken wie dem Gloster Meteor und dem Vampire angetrieben wurden, und später gepfeilten Flügel, axialen Treibwerken wie der Hawker Hunter und de Havilland Sea Vixen.
