DH 5 Scout AFC
During WWI Geoffrey De
Havilland was designing some novel, and effective aircraft for Airco.
The DH 5 Scout almost made it into this class. In 1917 it was his latest
design featuring back-staggered wings to give the pilot better forward
and upward visibility.
|
 |
|
It was an excellent idea, unfortunately, it did
not have sufficient power to provide good performance at altitude.
Originally designed as a fighter but some considered it to be an
adequate ground attack aircraft. About 550 were built. Some were
flown by the AFC.
