de Havilland Canada has taken limitations of the somewhat antiquated CF-5 Archeopteryx, and developed a new design to replace that plane for Airship and Floatplane operations. In addition to developing a respectable fighter design, a stretched version capable of carrying a dedicated observer and increased payload has been developed to give the platform greater options to possible customers.

Production is commencing for RCNAS orders in 1937, with deliveries expected in early 1938
