America's first "warbird" was a 1908 Wright biplane. First US military airplane used in combat was a Curtiss JN-2 "Jenny"...used in the 1916 action against Pancho Villa in Mexico.

Okay... I'm picking nits!

Good luck on the DH-4 project. By the way, Geoffrey de Havilland's niece, the actress Olivia de Havilland, is 100 years old this year and still alive in Paris.
