Manufacture of the de Havilland Dove Light Transport: An Account by the Technical Editor of the Methods Being Used in the Production at Hatfield of the Airframe of a Very Popular Aeroplane

Abstract

THIS article describes the Dove manufacture as it was in the autumn of 1947, when machines had been coming off the production line for about a year. At that time the full flow of one machine per working day had not been achieved, but most production snags had been eliminated and all but a few jigs were in their final form.
