DH-4

Factory interior on July 21, 1924, showing large-scale production of steel tube fuselages for use on rebuilt WW-I De Havilland 4 observation aircraft.
American companies such as Boeing produced few new aircraft in the early 1920s, Reconditioning contracts, such as this DH-4 rebuild, were vital to the company's survival, and as the original wire-braced wooden fuselages were replaced by welded steel-tube structures, the company gained valuable early experience with metal structures. By the end of the decade, however, Boeing was a market leader.
