A CANADIAN "GIANT MOTH": Built almost entirely at the de Havilland Toronto factory, this machine was recently supplied to the Ontario Provincial Air Service for Forest Patrol duties. It was first tested by E. Leigh Capreol (chief D.H. pilot) as a landplane, and then flown to Ottawa, where it was fitted with floats for operation as a seaplane at Sault Ste Marie. Readers with microscopical sight may recognise our old friend R. A. Loader standing (left) beneath the engine - which is a Pratt & Whitney "Hornet."
