de Havilland Canada was an innovative aircraft manufacturer with facilities based in Toronto, Ontario. The aircraft company was created in 1928 by British de Havilland Aircraft.
DHC was a Canadian unit of British de Havilland and during World War II was made into a crown corporation of the Canadian government. In the 1980s, the Canadian government privatized DHC and sold the aircraft company to then Seattle-based Boeing. DHC has since been acquired by Montreal-based Bombardier Aerospace.
