The single-seat DH2 was designed as a result of lessons learned in early aerial combat. This was Geoffery de Havilland's 2nd pusher design for Airco and probably one of the most significant.
It was derived from the Airco DH1 two-seater and retained the biplane pusher layout. This afforded the pilot the maximum possible field of view from the forward-most tub. Significantly smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the DH2 emphasised manoeuvrability as a primary design aim and it was soon adopted into RFC service. https://www.baesystems.com/en/heritage/geoffery-de-havilland-s-first-design-for-airco-----
