The P-26 fighter, the first Boeing all-metal, low-wing monoplane fighter with its wings braced by wires, rather than struts, drew heavily on the Monomail design. Powered by a 600-horsepower P&W; Wasp engine, the 23-foot 7-inch long airplane could fly 234 mph. Its initial high landing speeds were reduced by the addition of wing flaps in the production models. The Army ordered 126 production-model P-26s, and Boeing built 12 for export. This P-26 belonged to the 19th Pursuit Squadron, Hawaii, 1939.
