X-Plane 10 Airco DH.4 (Liberty Engine). The Airco DH4 was a British two-seat biplane day bomber of the World War I. It was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco, and was the first British two-seat light day-bomber to have an effective defensive armament. During WW1, on October 6th 1918, First Lieutenant Harold Ernest Goettler and Second Lieutenant Erwin R. Bleckley received posthumous awards after being killed on 12 October 1918 attempting to drop supplies (in their DH.4) to the Lost Battalion of the 77th Division, cut off by German troops during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Credit goes to Bernard Augras for the use of his pilot. By Philippe Gastebois.
