RFC Airco
DH2
The
D.H.2 biplane was Geoffrey de Havilland's second design for the Aircraft
Manufacturing Company. This highly successful pusher had good manoeuvrability
with an excellent rate of climb. Mounting the engine to the rear of the
fuselage permitted the use of a fixed, forward-firing machine gun before the
advent of the synchronous machine gun. Superior to the Fokker E.III,
the D.H.2 helped end the "Fokker Scourge".
