Airco D.H.7 Fighter
The Airco D.H.7 was a design for a single-seat single-engined tractor fighter, to be powered by a Rolls-Royce Falcon engine. Although the Falcon went on to be a successful engine, powering the Bristol F.2 Fighter, it was not available in any numbers at the time when Geoffrey de Havilland was working on the D.H.7. The lack of a suitable engine led to the cancellation of the project before the design had been completed.

Well illustrated and informative, this book covers an impressive amount of ground in just over 300 pages
