Airco DH.4 Day Bomber and Reconnaissance Family
The Airco DH.4 was a two-seat biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland for day bombing and reconnaissance in the First World War. British-built aircraft served with the RFC and RAF, while American-built DH-4s became the backbone of early United States airmail operations and later civil conversions, giving the design an unusually long military-to-commercial legacy.
