Designed and built by Boeing, the prototype first flew in 1932, and was still in use with the U.S. Army Air Corps as late as 1941 in the Philippines. The open cockpit, fixed landing gear, externally braced wing design was the last such design procured by the USAAC as a fighter. The “Peashooter”, as it was known by service pilots, was faster than previous American combat aircraft.
