DH-4 aeroplane radio
DH-4 aeroplane radio. This view of the aeroplane cockpit shows the installation of a radio set on a DH-4 (De Havilland 4) model. The DH-4 was a variant of the DH.4, and was a two-seat bomber biplane built in the USA from 1918 for use by the USA in World War I. By the end of the 1920s, it had been replaced by other planes. This photograph, by the US Army Service, is from a collection of unpublished images, dating from the 1860s to the 1920s, taken for The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States (1925-1929)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the DH-4 aeroplane radio, providing a glimpse into the early days of aviation technology. The image captures the cockpit of a DH-4 model aircraft, highlighting the installation of a radio set. Developed as a two-seat bomber biplane during World War I, this particular variant was built in the United States from 1918 and utilized by the American military. The monochromatic composition adds to its historical significance, transporting us back to an era when aerial warfare was still in its infancy. As we marvel at this technological marvel from yesteryears, it becomes evident how far aviation has progressed since then. Captured by the US Army Service for The Pageant of America: A Pictorial History of the United States (1925-1929), this photograph is part of an unpublished collection dating back to as early as the 1860s. It serves as a testament to both American ingenuity and military prowess throughout history. As time passed and advancements were made, other planes eventually replaced the DH-4 series by the end of 1920s. However, images like these continue to preserve our collective memory and offer valuable insights into not only aviation but also communication technology during that period. This remarkable piece from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate how telecommunication played an integral role in shaping early flight operations while reminding us of our ever-evolving journey towards innovation and progress.
