Hello
Can anyone recommend any book/s about the DH4? I know there are pilot’s notes for the DH9 (given free with a magazine), but did they ever produce the same for the DH4?
Tried eBay and Abe Books:
Windsock Datafile # 101 – AMERICAN DH 4
Windsock Datafile Special No. Airco DH4 Volume 1
Anything else…?
Best Wishes

Not sure if this is of use/interest. An article was published in the Moth Magazine No: 139 July 2007 describing the restoration to fly of DH4MA N3248H. Also in the same mag some info on the DH9 that is at Duxford.

Hello Phillip;
I think that one of the best DH-4 books is: “de Havilland DH-4, From Flaming Coffin to Living Legend,” by Walter J Boyne. This is book # 7, in the series, “Famous Aircraft of the National Air And Space Museum.” 120 pages with dwgs charts and profusely illustrated, including close-up details. There is also a good bibliography of related books, including Aircraft Profile Series #26, “The de Havilland D.H.4″by J.M. Bruce, and a dozen others.
There are curently, about 20 offerings of the Boyne book on the search site Bookfinder.com. Cuiously there are several in the U.S that are offered at $15-$18, BUT-the ones offered by UK sellers are $42-$50 and up!.
