EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the early days of military aviation, as a large formation of Boeing P-26 Peashooters takes to the skies in 1940. The US Army Air Corps (USAAC) was rapidly expanding its airpower capabilities in the lead up to America's entry into World War II, and the P-26 was one of its first monoplane fighters. The Peashooter, officially known as the Model 26, was a piston-engine, single-seat, all-metal cantilever monoplane designed for the USAAC's pursuit and ground attack roles. With its distinctive rounded canopy and fixed landing gear, the P-26 was a formidable addition to the USAAC's arsenal. In this image, we see a formation of these agile and versatile fighters, flying in a tight V-formation, as they make their way to their next mission. The pilots' focus is unwavering as they navigate the open skies, their aircraft's engines roaring in the background. The exterior of the P-26 is adorned with various markings, including serial numbers and insignia, reflecting the individuality of each plane and its pilot. The P-26 Peashooter was a crucial part of America's early military aviation history, and this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the courage and determination of the men and women who flew these planes in defense of their country. This image is an essential addition to any military aviation or history collection, and its timeless appeal is sure to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
