The Howard DGA-15 is a single-engine civil aircraft produced in the United States by the Howard Aircraft Corporation from 1939 to 1944. Benny Howard started designing airplanes in 1924 and called these "damned good airplanes" DGA. The DGA-15 had a single pilot and 4 passengers. After the United States' entry into World War II, over 500 planes "GH" were built for the United States Navy and also served various roles in the United States Army Air Forces. The Howard company ceased operations when the War ended.
