Even the Italians had a jet in the air before we did.
I know there was a jet race but I'm sure what we see now is the British version of it. So I'd still say ours on that.
And we probably would have been earlier if Whittles superior officer hadn't been a tit.

As I said there was a jet race but the jets that we see in aircraft today are the ones that were designed by Whittle. Or at least a variation of them.
I'm not disputing whether it was the first in the air.
If you look at the Camprini on wiki it even states there.
As designed by Campini, the aircraft did not have a jet engine in the sense that we know them today
