| Description |
The de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide was a 1930s British short-haul biplane passenger airliner. It proved an economical and durable craft, despite its relatively primitive plywood construction. At the start of World War II, many (Dragon) Rapides were impressed by the British armed forces and served under the name de Havilland Dominie. They were used for passenger and communications duties. Over 500 further craft were built specifically for military purposes, powered by improved Gipsy Queen engines, to bring total production to 731. The Dominies were mainly used by the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy for radio and navigation training. Postwar they were used as communications aircraft by Royal Naval air station flights. |
