De Havilland Okapi Country: UK Type: Bomber Manufacturer: De Havilland Service: 1919 - 1921 First Flight: 1919 Production: 3

The De Havilland DH.14 Okapi was a British two-seat day bomber of the early interwar period built by De Havilland. The aircraft was designed as an Airco DH.4 and DH.9 replacement, it never entered production.

The Okapi was a scaled up version of the Airco DH.9 with a bigger engine (the Rolls Royce Condor) designed as a replacement for the DH.4 and DH.9. Three aircraft were built but due to the end of the First World War the Royal Air Force was not in a hurry to accept them. The third aircraft was the first to fly, and it was completed by the Airco at Hendon as the DH.14A a two-seat long-range mailplane. The two military aircraft were completed by De Havilland at Stag Lane Aerodrome in 1921 and used for trials, no production aircraft were ordered.
