It looked too ungainly to fly—but fly it did, setting speed records, advancing aviation design, and shaping the future of military and civil aircraft. Built in the 1930s as a racing plane by the Granville Bros. of Springfield, Massachusetts, the stubby, chubby Gee Bee was an aerodynamic marvel. Only 32 Gee Bees were ever made; only one Model R-2 Super Sportster. 1:48 die-cast exact metal replica has a 6 1/4" wingspan and spinning propeller. A treasure from the Golden Age of air racing.
