Boeing P-26 Peashooter Fighter Family
The Boeing P-26 Peashooter was a transitional fighter that brought an all-metal, low-wing monoplane into United States Army Air Corps service while retaining an open cockpit, fixed landing gear, and external wing bracing. Its speed over contemporary biplanes made it an important interwar design step, and its 1932 prototypes led to the first monoplane fighter ordered in quantity for the Air Corps.
