Boeing P-26 'Peashooter' | An Interwar American Icon

The P-26 was America's first all-metal fighter. Due to the time of its arrival (the early 1930s), it didn't get to do much in World War Two, and due to American isolationism it didn't do much in the 1930s either - with the exception of some aircraft that were exported to China.

The P-26 was a blend of the old and the new, but its usually not the technology that fascinates people about this plane - its the colours. The P-26 would boast some of the most striking and beautiful paint schemes during the 1930s, and it is beloved by aviation and model enthusiasts the world over.
