Posted May 12, 200619 yr comment_41916 Ayup, I have some nifty new photos of some Boeing designs from the mid 1930's. Forget about flying around in the China Clipper my friends, fly in style in one of these bad boys!!! I'll be breaking this up into a couple of posts for some attempt at brevity, divided by Fighters, Bombers, then Transports. First up, the latest in high speed, low drag fighters! Single seat and ready to rock! And now in formation flight with our twin engined variant: And our twin engined pursuit plane in all her glory:
