DH.89 Dragon Rapide
By Adrian Balch
The de Havilland Dragon Rapide has been a much-loved twin-engined bi-plane icon of the 1930s British aviation industry and even today there are currently seven airworthy in the UK, and many countries have at least one airworthy across the world, giving pleasure to those that enjoy a flight in them. Many major aviation museums have a Dragon Rapide on display in them across the world and there are others 'waiting in the wings' to be restored to fly again. This Warpaint is yet another comprehensive title by Adrian Balch, which covers all the military and civil operators of the Dragon Rapide and Dominie from the 1930s to date, with nearly 100 photographs, many in colour, and colour profiles by artist Sam Pearson.
