Formed at Thun early in First World War. Made aircraft to
designs of A. Haefeli, who was earlier with Farman and
Ago. First was DH-1 pusher (six built in 1916) showing
Ago influence; DH-2 was tractor which went into production
as developed DH-3 (110 of these two-seaters built).
DH-4 was fighter prototype of 1918; DH-5 (1919; 60 built)
a DH-3 replacement; DH-5A a higher-powered version of
1928, with steel-tube fuselage (22 built). To a government
specification of 1934 it built the C-35 multipurpose two-seat
biplane as a replacement for the Fokker C.V-E, which
it resembled, and which the company had produced jointly
with Dornier since 1932. C-35 first flown in 1935; 80
delivered from 1937. (See also
