The De Havilland Canada Story
Toronto: Canav Books, 1983. Quarto, dark blue hardcover with gilt spine lettering, illustrated endpapers, 244 pp., profusely illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps. A near-fine copy with dust-jacket. This book charts the progress of the company through both its successes and challenges as through changes of ownership from de Havilland to Hawker Siddeley to the Canadian government.
De Havilland Canada was founded to assemble and sell British-made Moths, the light planes that made flying popular and accessible. The company adapted the various Moth types and larger DH aircraft such as the Dragon Rapide to skis and floats and thus began its traditional association with bushplanes. Item #5133
