Share your memories of the past with our handcrafted .<br><br> <b>Model Airplane:</b> Gee Bee Model R-1 Racer aircraft <br> <b>Material:</b> mahogany wood<br> <b>Manufacturer:</b> Granville Brothers<br> <b>Era:</b> National Air Races<br><br> Model Airplane Factory, makers of hand made model aircraft, presents to you our Gee Bee R-1 model plane. Our Gee Bee Super Sportster wooden model is a beautiful, handmade authentic replica, made from the very finest grade of select kiln-dried mahogany wood and painstakingly decorated by our skilled craftsmen. Multiple coats of clear lacquer is applied in GB Model R model airplane to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. It is supplied with a mahogany base for display.<br><br><br> The R-1 won the 1932 Thompson Trophy cross country speed race, piloted by Jimmy Doolittle. He also set a new world landplane speed record of 476 k/ph (296 m/ph) in the Shell Speed Dash. The distinction of a landplane record was noteworthy because at that time, specialized speed seaplanes outran landplanes (see Schneider Trophy). The Springfield Union of September 6, 1932 quoted Doolittle as saying, "She is the sweetest ship I've ever flown. She is perfect in every respect and the motor is just as good as it was a week ago. It never missed a beat and has lots of stuff in it yet. I think this proves that the Granville brothers up in Springfield build the very best speed ships in America today."</div> <!--eof Product description --> <br class="clearBoth" /> <!--bof Add to Cart
