AIRCRAFT HISTORY
---------------------------------
The D.H.9 was designed to be the successor to the DH-4, with higher speed and greater load-carrying capability. Although it was structurally only a modest revision of the earlier model, higher performance was anticipated from use of the 300HP Siddeley-Puma engine. Development troubles with the Puma engine produced performance that was inferior to the earlier DH-4. Yet the DH-9 was constructed in large numbers (over 3,000 airframes) with the intent that it form the backbone of the Independent Force, the RAF strategic bombing group that was expected to commence bombing the German industrial heartland in the Spring of 1918. The DH 9's poor operational performance limited its service life, and it was later superceded by the much-improved DH 9A (Only the DH-9 is covered in this, the latest, volume). After WW1, the DH9 had a much lengthier life with several air services owing to the use of powerplants other than the Puma.
