The Kreider-Reisner XC-31 was a transport aircraft developed for the USAAC. The single engine, fabric covered design was was not ordered into production, with the USAAC preferring twin engined metal covered designs such as the Douglas DC-2.

First flying on 22 December 1936, the North American B-21 Dragon was a medium bomber designed for the United States Army Air Corps. Although having superior performance to it’s competitor the Douglas B-18 Bolo, it was considerably more expensive. As a result and although a small batch of evaluation aircraft were ordered, only the prototype was built. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/north-american-xb-21/ #Aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #bomber #NorthAmericanXB21 #USAAC

RB-25 Mitchell Shown here at the New England Airshow at Westover ARB, Massacusetts, this Mitchell was just the FOURTH built of this iconic WW2 type. In a way, it was a wonder that this aircraft survived; mainly, this was because it was adopted as the personal transport of USAAC General H. H. 'Hap' Arnold. Hence the nose art, 'Miss Hap' ! This Mitchell's type designation, RB-, doesn't mean that it was intended for reconnaissance duties, it refers to a 'Restricted' rating, which means it was not up to combat standards. #B25 #Mitchell #USAAC #WW2 #General #HHHapArnold #HapArnold #airshow #avgeek #Massachusetts #USA #UnitedStates #aircraft #noseart #photography #aircraftphotography #Westover #ARB #AirReserveBase #MissHap
