An old photograph of the De Havilland 'Dragon' emphasising its nacelles,wheel spats and four-engined passenger aircraft was capable of seating ten passengers. Known as the Dragon, it was commercially success and was superseded by the Dragon Express. The suicide of the sisters du Bois by jumping from one of these planes in a successful joint suicide bid, became an international story in 1935.
