    Produced as a WWI trainer in 1916, the famous Jenny proved the foundation of the Curtiss-Wright Company. Thousands of these biplanes in various models were built in the U.S. and Canada, introducing a new generation to flying.

    After the war, adventurous barnstormers could buy a surplus Jenny for $500 and head out on the circuit. The mass of bracing posts and wires were useful for wing walking and stunts. After a hard landing in a farm field, the simple craft was easy to repair. The Jenny and barnstormers served to take aviation out to an appreciative public in towns and cities across the country.

    There are several restored Jennies still flying.

    Today we remember an iconic plane of the inter-war years, the Gee Bee Racer.

    During depression years, the Granville brothers of Springfield, Massachusetts built some of the most famous race planes in history. Their Sportster aircraft won many races, setting speed records that gained the aircraft fame as the fastest in the world.

    In 1931, with Jimmy Doolittle as pilot, the Gee Bee Model Z won the prestigious Thompson Trophy race in Cleveland, setting a speed record of 296 mph.

    None of the original Gee Bee Sportster Series survives, though several flying replicas keep memories alive.

    That tends to happen when the design is best known for scattering itself across the landscape; the comments of Delmar Benjamin on flying the replica were insightful, not to mention bleedin' terrifying....

    That guy has some massive 'cohones', I remember ready this years ago on the warbird.ccom website - http://www.warbird.com/gbvsfaa.html

    "Delmar Benjamin brought his remarkable replica of the Gee Bee R-2 racer back to Reno for the fourth consecutive year since its completion. When he took to the racecourse to start his aerobatic show on Thursday, the photographers out on the course knew they were in for some fun!

    Delmar has developed a reputation for providing the photographers with spectacular but hair-raising shots of the Gee Bee racer flying directly at the pylon where they are standing - at breathtakingly low altitudes - I mean ON THE DECK!

    Good news travels fast, however, and at Reno, you can be sure at least one official with not enough to do will stick his nose into any given piece of action. So it was that when racing resumed on Saturday after a bad weather blackout on Friday, an ominous black car sat positioned out on pylon #8 where all the Gee Bee action had been happening. Inside, in a black hat sat the FAA guy and a major RARA official.

    Delmar gave the self-appointed gendarme plenty of ammo with which to shoot himself in the foot, tho! Informed sources report that after three unbelievable low passes at the pylon, the FAA official phoned the tower and demanded that the show be stopped immediately and all aircraft be grounded until the course was cleared of all personnel. Surprisingly, temporary radio failure apparently prevented this urgent message from ever being transmitted.

    Delmar finished his show and the remaining heat races were run without incident until the FAA guy had an "interview" with Delmar in which he uh, "criticized" his "low and dangerous flying", adding a little 120 day suspension of his license. This was later withdrawn when Delmar pointed out that not only did he have "zero-altitude" waivers for his airshow, but the ONLY person out on the course who had NOT signed liability waivers was the FAA guy himself! This meant that he was on the course illegally to begin with, endangering the sport and the livelihoods of the professional photographers and reporters he was so charged up to protect."

    Perhaps there should be a Delmar Benjamin beer.

    Today we remember Pan Am's famous Clipper flying boats.

    The magnificent Boeing 314 flying boat led the way in opening up international travel routes. It was the largest, most luxurious civil aircraft of its time, carrying 74 passengers, or 40 on long night flights.

    Dubbed the Dixie Clipper, the Pan American plane established the first Trans Atlantic schedule mail and passenger flights in May 1939. In its relatively short but exotic service, the aircraft also introduced routes across the Pacific and into Asia.

    None of these marvelous flying boats survives.

    One of the most famous of WWII bombers, the B-17 was conceived by the then small Boeing Airplane Company in the mid 1930s. As the aircraft evolved through numerous models, thousands were built to serve with great distinction as a daylight strategic bomber. The aircraft is legendary for sustaining great damage, but still managing to bring its crew back home.

    B-17s have been restored, some to flying condition, in the United States and Europe.
