This is my entry for airlinerbuilder's multiple wings challenge

Airco D.H 21#

Airco/De Havilland D.H 21 is a single-engine biplane derived from earlier D.H 16. It have its maiden flight in October 1920. This plane was equipped with 1 Rolls Royce Eagle piston engine and 4 wooden proplelers and it can carry 6 passenger or 2.000 postcard and 1 crew. The main operator of this aircraft was Aircraft Travel & Transport. 27 was built and none of them in service today and just 2 get preserved in Bougainville AirMuseum in Wright isles

Oh and some story about this plane

In the night of November 13,1941. 3 Airco D.H 21 operated by England Air Services(G-AXAB, G-AXAC, and G-AXAD) missing while parked in London Croydon Airport. The airport authorities suspecting if the plane was stolen by some German Nazi but there are no traces to make sure if that was a German Nazi stole that plane. Some people thought if maybe that 3 Aircos was still airworthy until now and owned by a milionarie somewhere in United States of America

WARNING: you need SimplePlanes version 1.11 beta to run this plane

The control also sucks i don't have time to fix it

Thank you and enjoy your ride
