No.145, THE DE HAVILLAND DH10
TOO LATE FOR COMBAT!
Only a handful of DH10 twin-engine bombers were to reach the RAF before the November 1918 Armistice put paid to any further deliveries. The DH10 variant carried its Liberty 12 engines in nacelles supported by struts above and below whereas the 10A had them mounted directly to the lower wings-instant recognition features. Excellent text, rare photos and colour plates make for a concise, informative reference.
THE ungainly DH10 twin-engine bomber of late 1918 that became universally known as the Amiens. Five contractors, including the parent company, were ordered to produce the type even though the first prototype's performance was hardly remarkable Over 200 DH10, and later DH10a, were built but the Armistice prevented either version entering service with only eight being delivered.The type did see Middle East deployment after the war with the last being SOC in 1926.Jack's profile contains over 20 photos plus some colourful profiles on inner covers. Copy slightly creased but intact.
