Boeing XB-15 First Flight, October 15, 1937

The mammoth Boeing XB-15 began in 1934 as a design study for the U.S. Army to see if it was possible to build a heavy bomber with a 5,000-mile range. When it made its first flight, it was the largest and heaviest plane ever built in the United States. It was so large that the crew could go through passages in the wing to make minor repairs while the airplane was flying. Because a long-range flight, powered by the engines of the time, took several days, the crew had bunks to sleep on between shifts. Because the lone XB-15 was an experimental airplane, it did not serve as a bomber during World War II. The military converted it into a cargo carrier, designated the XC-105.
