A brief history of the model:
The de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide was a 1930s British short-haul airliner known for its elegant twin-engine design and dependable performance. It was used extensively for passenger flights, military communication roles during WWII, and even aerial survey missions well into the postwar era. With its graceful lines and vintage appeal, the Dragon Rapide remains a beloved icon of early commercial aviation.
