Boeing biplanes near completion

摘要

After 19 years of work, completion is in sight for the Boeing P-12 and F4B projects at Roy Rehm's Willow Aircraft in a workshop in Nevada. The ventures started when well-known warbird operator Kermit Weeks asked Roy to rebuild the Fantasy of Flight Boeing 100 after it had been damaged in Hurricane Andrew in August 1992. The Model 100 was a civilian version of the single-seat biplane fighter P-12 (for the US Army Air Corps) and F4B (US Navy) which first appeared in 1929.
