EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the sleek lines and innovative design of a Boeing F4B-4, identified by the special registration number NX 9846. The F4B-4 was a naval variant of the Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner, a twin-engine transport aircraft produced by Boeing in the late 1940s. This particular aircraft, with manufacturing serial number 1767 and former BuAer designation 9251, was unique in its navy blue and white paint scheme. The image, part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, dates back to circa 1947. At this time, the Boeing F4B-4 was undergoing flight tests and evaluations by the United States Navy. The aircraft, which featured a pressurized cabin and a top speed of over 300 miles per hour, was intended for use as a long-range transport and communication plane. The Boeing F4B-4 represented the cutting edge of aviation technology during the post-World War II era. Its advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and a modern glass cockpit, set it apart from earlier aircraft designs. The F4B-4's versatility and performance made it an invaluable asset to the U.S. Navy, and it went on to serve with distinction in various roles until its retirement in the late 1960s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of aviation and the remarkable achievements of the Boeing Company during the mid-20th century. The Boeing F4B-4, with its sleek lines and innovative design, continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
