About de Havilland DH.34
de Havilland DH.34 Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : Building on
commercial experience obtained with the D.H.18 and structural
experience with the D.H.29, de Havilland began work on a new type, the
de Havilland D.H.32, in 1921. Considerable progress had been made, and
plans for construction of the first aircraft (with the 360 hp/268 kW
Rolls-Royce Eagle engine as its powerplant) had been announced. The new
design showed great promise, but since the main customers would be
Instone and Daimler Hire, who were already using Napier Lion powered
D.H.18s, de Havilland bowed to their wishes and redesigned the aircraft
to use that engine. The result was the de Havilland D.H.34, the
company's most successful aircraft of the early post-war period.
The
first of 11 aircraft flew in March 1922, and made an inaugural
Croydon-Paris flight on the 2nd April. Daimler Hire eventually used six
D.H.34s and Instone four, while one was sold to Dobrolet, the Russian
airline. When Imperial Airways was formed in 1924 it took over seven
D.H.34s and used them over the next two years before deciding to
re-equip with larger aircraft.
There can be no doubt that the
D.H.34s made an impressive mark on the air transport scene during the
four years or so in which they served. Some 8,000 hours were recorded
by December 1922, less than nine months after the prototype's
appearance, and over 100,000 miles (160,934 km) flown without overhaul
by the second Daimler aircraft. However, no less than six D.H.34s were
lost in accidents, several of them fatal. An early stalling crash led
to extensions being added to the top wing to increase its area, giving
rise to the designation D.H.34B. The last four D.H.34s in UK service
were scrapped in 1926.
