EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide, a striking biplane airliner that graced the skies during the 1940s. The Dragon Rapide, with its distinctive wooden construction and pistonprop power, was a popular choice for private aviation in Europe during the 1930s and 40s. The image, taken at an undisclosed airfield in England, captures the essence of the Dragon Rapide's timeless design and elegance. The aircraft, registered to a private owner, is seen taxying at Endmoor Airfield (LEQ), with Saint Just Airfield (EGHS) visible in the background. The Dragon Rapide's versatile nature made it a favorite among both pilots and passengers for short-haul flights across the United Kingdom and beyond. The Dragon Rapide was a significant departure from the de Havilland Aircraft Company's commercial offerings, as it was not designed for commercial use but rather for the burgeoning market of private aviation. Its short takeoff and landing capabilities, combined with its spacious cabin and efficient powerplant, made it an ideal choice for those seeking to travel in style and comfort during the era of civil aviation's infancy. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide, a biplane airliner that continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and collectors alike. With its rich history and iconic design, the Dragon Rapide remains an important chapter in the annals of aviation history.
