EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, three De Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide aircraft, CS-ADI, CS-ADJ, and CS-ADK, are seen flying in formation towards Lisbon, Portugal, on November 8, 1945. The Dragon Rapides, manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom, were popular transport planes during the 1930s and 1940s, known for their versatility and reliability. The planes, with their distinctive rounded wings and twin engines, are followed by a Percival Proctor, CS-ADN, which also played a significant role in post-war European aviation. The Dragon Rapides and Proctor were often used for private and corporate transportation, as well as for short-haul airline services. The photograph captures a sense of adventure and optimism, as these planes made their way to Lisbon, likely carrying passengers from various European destinations. The end of World War II had brought about a renewed interest in air travel, and these planes were a testament to the resilience and innovation of the aviation industry. The Dragon Rapides and Proctor were iconic aircraft of their time, and their presence in this photograph offers a glimpse into the history of European aviation and the post-war era. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of these planes in connecting people and places, and of the enduring allure of flight.
