Airco (de Havilland) D.H.9A
Невысокие летные данные D.H.9 могли быть улучшены путем установки более мощного и надежного мотора. Поскольку для фирмы "Rolls-Royce" создание такого мотора в короткие сроки оказалось не по силам, решили заказать большое количество двигателей Liberty 12 в США. Фирма "Airco", занятая новым самолетом D.H.10, предложила фирме "Westland Aircraft Works" в Иеовиле (Сомерсет) переделать D.H.9 под эту силовую установку. Фирма "Westland", построившая большое количество самолетов D.H.4 и D.H.9 по субподряду, поступила еще лучше, скомпоновав лучшие элементы обоих самолетов с американским двигателем. Чтобы использовать преимущества дополнительной мощности мотора, фюзеляж был усилен, а площадь крыльев увеличена. Прототип Airco (de Havilland) D.H.9A совершил с вой первый полет с двигателем Eagle VIII. Вскоре после этого в воздух поднялся прототип с двигателем Liberty. Поставки в Королевские ВВС начались в июне 1918 года.
"Westland" и субподрядчики построили примерно 885 экземпляров D.H.9A. Самолет получил звание выдающегося стратегического бомбардировщика Первой мировой войны. Производство D. Н.9А продолжалось и в послевоенные годы, когда он использовался Королевскими ВВС во время воздушных операций в Ираке и на северо-западной границе Индии. "Westland" продолжала модернизацию самолета (Nine-Ack, сокращенно Ninak) до тех пор, пока его не сняли с вооружения в 1931 году. Самолетами D.Н.9А были оснащены восемь эскадрилий дневных бомбардировщиков и шесть вспомогательных эскадрилий британских ВВС, размещенных в Соединенном Королевстве. Также они служили на почтовой авиалинии Каир - Багдад, в Египте и Палестине.
D.H.9A имел ряд модификаций, созданных в большей мере фирмой "de Havilland", чем "Airco" (отошедшей от дел после Первой мировой войны) или иностранными участниками. D.H.9AJ Stag был прототипом с улучшенным основным шасси и силовой установкой, состоящей из звездообразного двигателя Bristol Jupiter VI мощностью 465 л. с. (347 кВт). D.H.9R - гоночный самолет-полутораплан с W-образным двигателем Napier Lion II мощностью 465 л.с. (347 кВт). Обозначение Engineering Division USD-9A было дано девяти в целом схожим самолетам D.H.9A американского производства с неподвижной установкой 7,62-мм пулемета Browning, перенесенной с левого на правый борт фюзеляжа и модифицированным рулем направления. Обозначение Engineering Division USD-9B получил самолет USD-9A с двигателем Liberty 12А мощностью 420 л. с. (313 кВт).

A line-up of D.H.9As of No 55 Sqn at Hinaidi, Iraq, in 1926. In September 1920 the unit arrived in Mesopotamia (which officially became Iraq the following year) and spent the next two decades on policing duties in the country, largely made up of operations against raiding tribesmen. Regular claims have since been made that the RAF used chemical weapons in Iraq in the 1920s, but examination of the evidence suggests it is not true.

De Havilland D.H.9a ("Liberty" Engine). This is a hardy war-type that has passed through various modifications right up to the present day, and is still doing service with several of the bombing squadrons. Large quantities of this type have been produced, and it is too well known to need further reference here. The Bombing Squadrons equipped with D.H.9a's are :- Nos. 8 (Iraq); 14 (Amman and Ramleh); 24 (Communications, Kenley); 27 (Risalpur); 30 (Iraq); 39 (Spittlegate); 47 (Mid.

Самолеты обычно несли запасное колесо на левом борту в носовой части, а на многих машинах эскадрильи законцовки крыльев и стабилизатора окрашивались в оранжевый цвет, чтобы их легко можно было обнаружить в случае вынужденной посадки.
