De Havilland Canada

De Havilland Canada

Whether in the snow, desert, jungle, on the water or at any regular airport, de Havilland Canada’s legendary transport aircraft have seen incredible service. No other aircraft manufacturer can claim its products have fulfilled so many roles in such wild and wonderful places. The iconic, go-anywhere Beaver may appear to have little in common with the muscular Buffalo or the sophisticated Dash 8, but they all share the rugged fit-for-purpose design, engineering excellence and longevity that have embraced the entire product line. Many of the Beavers and Otters flying commercially today are well beyond 60 years old.

This book provides a select history of these great aircraft, and recounts their roles – from travelling to London City Airport to forest clearings in Vanuatu, from glaciers in the Alaska Range to ‘extreme’ airports in the Caribbean, these aircraft have been everywhere.

Illustrated with more than 220 photographs, most of which have never been published before, this book is packed with stories, anecdotes, facts and figures, showcasing de Havilland Canada and its remarkable aircraft.
