De Havilland Express Air Liner, Card No 10 (JPAeroplanes 1935)

Civilian Aircraft 1935 (John Player)

Card No. 10: The DE HAVILLAND "DIANA" CLASS (Great Britain)

This four-engined airliner, one of the fastest commercial aeroplanes built in this country, although not quite as fast as some American types, carries eight passengers and two pilots on a comparatively small engine power and can reach a speed of 170 mph. Its cruising speed is about 145 mph. These air liners fly on the air lines operated by Railway Air Services between London and Glasgow and other towns, and are being used on the Singapore-Brisbane section of the Empire route between England and Australia. The machine illustrated is one of the latter.
