About the Howard DGA-15P

The Howard DGA-15P is a classic American radial-engined cabin single — a rugged, substantial four/five-seater of the 1930s-40s with the unmistakable presence of a golden-age aircraft. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney radial and built in period wood/fabric/steel-tube construction, the "Damn Good Airplane" rewards an owner who values vintage character and will care for a classic radial airframe.

Buying a Used Howard DGA-15P

When buying a Howard DGA-15P, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.

What to check before buying

  • Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
  • Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
