The correct answer is the deHavilland Albatross. The DH.91 was designed in 1936, and was remarkable for the ply-balsa-ply sandwich construction of its fuselage which was later made famous in the de Havilland Mosquito bomber. The first Albatross flew on May 20 1937. The second prototype broke in two during overload tests but was rebuilt and it and the first prototype were used by Imperial Airways.
