peer01 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) The Airco DH.2 was a single-seat biplane "pusher" aircraft which operated as a fighter during the First World War. It was the second pusher design by Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco. The DH.2 was the first effectively armed British single-seat fighter and enabled Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pilots to counter the "Fokker Scourge" that had given the Germans the advantage in the air in late 1915. Until the British developed an interrupter gear to match the German system, pushers such as the DH.2 and the F.E.2b carried the burden of fighting and escort duties.

mrzippy Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Not bad for a young airman and such an old aircraft! ;). Now I might have that reversed??:eek: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaro Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Ahh, going back to your roots, I see. :rolleyes: If you compare that to our Challenger ultralight, things haven't changed all that much. We added a nose gear, lost the bottom wing and the gun (as far as you know) but the configuration is basically the same. :pilot: -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
