EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic de Havilland DH90 Dragonfly, registration number G-ADNA, as it gracefully soars through the clear blue sky. The DH90 Dragonfly, designed and manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company in the 1930s, was a versatile biplane that served various roles in both military and civilian aviation. The Dragonfly was initially developed as a trainer aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF), but its unique design and capabilities quickly made it a popular choice for other applications, including communications, liaison, and even air ambulance services. With its open cockpit, two-seat configuration, and powerful de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, the DH90 Dragonfly offered exceptional maneuverability and performance. G-ADNA, specifically, holds a significant place in aviation history as it was the very first production Dragonfly built by de Havilland. It made its maiden flight on March 15, 1934, and was subsequently delivered to the RAF for evaluation. The aircraft's impressive performance during testing led to the type's eventual adoption by the military and civilian sectors. This photograph, taken during a flight demonstration, beautifully encapsulates the essence of the de Havilland DH90 Dragonfly – a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its time. With its sleek lines, open cockpit, and the vast expanse of the sky as its backdrop, G-ADNA remains an iconic symbol of aviation history.
