De Havilland BC DH.84 Dragon

The De Havilland BC DH.84 Dragon was a piston-engined passenger airliner for six to ten passengers built by De Havilland British Columbia between 1933 and 1935 based on the DH.84 Dragon type of DHBC's parent company, De Havilland Aircraft of the United Kingdom.

It is notable for having been the first type exported to a customer outside of British Columbia.

= Description = In most respects the British Columbian-built aircraft were the same as the British version. Two variants were built by DHBC, the Dragon 1B powered by Hoffar Aero Engines' 130 hp HIL-4A Hawkmoth-4 engine, and the Dragon 2B fitted with the more powerful HIL-6A Hawkmoth-6 engine producing 210 hp.
