The De Havilland DH4 was one of the most important Allied aircraft during World War I. Designed in the United Kingdom, it entered service in 1917 and was primarily used by the Royal Air Force as well as the United States Air Service. It served in bombing, reconnaissance, and escort missions on the Western Front.
