History:
The Boeing P-26, also known as “Peashooter”, was a single wing fighter aircraft used by the U.S Army Air Corps. The P-26 Peashooter's wings were braced with wire, rather than with the rigid struts used on other airplanes, so the airplane was lighter and had less drag. Its initial high landing speeds were reduced by the addition of wing flaps in the production models. It made its first flight on March 20 1932. As late as 1941, the Peashooter was being used by the Philippine Army Air Corps. Twelve export versions, 11 for China and one for Spain, were built.
