[Photograph] Iraq Petroleum Transport Company De Havilland Dragon Rapide

Descripción

Original unpublished b/w photo 62x88mm, printed on Velox paper with handwritten caption to verso. Very good, lightly worn. The photo shows the front section of a De Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide in a hangar, with a mother and child seated in the cockpit. The caption states "Taken at the aerodrome in one of 'Daddy's' aeroplanes". Undated, but this Velox logo was used in the 1930s-40s, and IPC was using this particular aircraft (manufactured during 1934-46) from 1934 onwards. IPC created the Iraq Petroleum Transport Company to patrol its Pipeline from Kirkuk to Haifa, and transport personnel and equipment to remote areas. N° de ref. del artículo 4802
