The Douglas Y1B-7 was a 1930s United Sates bomber aircraft. The monoplane was more practical and less expensive than the biplane, and the US Army Air Corps chose to experiment with monoplane for this reason. 14 of those Observation/Bomber aircraft were produced. At the end, they were used as air mail planes. I hope you will enjoy it :)

    @Wormforce not a problem at all. I'm surprised it didn't get a little more attention. It's not a high tech super fast fighter jet. But that's a fine plane.

    This is a nice little plane, I had a good time buzzing the mountains with this. Good build man. It's fun to fly, had a good look, and I like the paint scheme a lot. Nice work.
