About the original:
The Gee Bee R-series aircraft were purpose-built air racers developed by Granville Brothers Aircraft in the early 1930s. Known for their stubby fuselage, huge engines, and blistering speed, the Gee Bees became icons of the Golden Age of Air Racing. While notoriously challenging to fly, they embodied the bold and daring spirit of aviation’s early pioneers.
