The DH.4 was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland as a light two-seat combat aircraft, intended to perform both day bomber and aerial reconnaissance missions. [3] The intention was for it to be powered by the newly developed 160 hp (120 kW) Beardmore Halford Pullinger (BHP) engine.
While it normally carried two heavy machine guns, in separate positions, on some occasions these were augmented by a variety of light firearms, wielded by five or more crew members. One of the first aircraft explicitly conceived as a light day bomber was the single-engine Airco DH.4, designed by Geoffrey de Havilland.
