It is shown that if a d-dimensional dual hyperoval over GF(q) has a doubly transitive automorphism group G, then either q=2 and G is of affine type, or q=4, d=2 and GM22 or M22.2. This improves the results in [C. Huybrechts, A. Pasini, Flag-transitive extensions of dual affine spaces, Contrib. Algebra Geom. 40 (1999) 503–532] in the following sense: q is shown to be even, and the shape of G is strongly restricted, including the case q=2.
