Original WWI Named U.S. Army Air Service DH-4 Propeller Framed Photograph with Info - dated 1918 Scottish Militaria WWII OD Green Herringbone TwillOriginal Items: One of a Kind. Here we have a lovely WWI photograph, mounted in a frame made from a U. S. DH 4 Aircraft, modeled after the British Airco DH. 4. This was a Biplane designed by the famous aerospace pioneer and designer Geoffrey de Havilland. The U. S. Army Air service was equipped almost entirely with these planes during WWI. Propellers regularly had to be replaced, and the laminated wood was a very popular item to make "Trench Art"
