It was the first Boeing all-metal, low-wing monoplane fighter with its wings braced by wires, rather than struts. Powered by a 600-horsepower engine, the 23-foot 7-inch long airplane could fly 234 mph. Its initial high landing speeds were reduced by the addition of wing flaps in the production models. The U.S. Army ordered 126 production-model P-26s, and Boeing built 12 for export. One of a group of P26As, turned over to the Philippine Army late in 1941, was among the first Allied fighters to down a Japanese airplane.BI425266 (7054)Maximum size:7367px × 5894px (~124 MB)24.5in × 19.6in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1930s-black and white-Boeing livery-contrast-copy space-creative-day-editorial-exteriors-full body views-gray skies-ground shots-head on views-military livery-Model 247-P-26A Peashooter-photos-reflections-right front views-tarmac-text-unpaved ground-vintage / retro-wetRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Model 247
