The Dragon was an important step forward in the
development of regional air transport, providing early airlines with a
reliable aircraft and realistic payload. The wings outboard of the
engines could be folded to save hangar space. Of the total built, 87
were built by de Havilland Australia from 1942 for use as navigation
trainers with the Royal Australian Air Force. Three are believed to be
active.
