Airco DH-4 War Legend Onsie

The Airco DH-4 stands as a legendary biplane of World War I, marking its era with unmatched distinction. Designed by Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco, and manufactured in the thousands, the DH-4 was the only British design built by the Americans during the war. Operational from 1917, this aircraft was a true workhorse, serving various roles from reconnaissance to light bomber. Powered by the reliable Rolls-Royce Eagle engine, the DH-4 boasted impressive speed, range, and bomb load capabilities for its time. Its service didn't end with the war; the DH-4 went on to serve in civil aviation and as mail carriers, earning the nickname 'The Flaming Coffin' due to its vulnerable fuel tank positioning. Despite this, its contribution to aviation history is undeniable, making it a celebrated aircraft among enthusiasts and historians alike.
