Boeing’s P-26 Peashooter was the first United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) fighter to feature all-metal construction and the last to have an open cockpit, wire-braced wing, and fixed landing gear. Created in the early 1930s on the experience of the civilian Boeing Model 200 Monomail, the Peashooter was a real breakthrough for its time and the fastest fighter in USAAC squadron service. For a brief time period it formed the core of American pursuit squadrons. And although the P-26 did most of its service in the relatively peaceful 1930s, it saw some action during the second part of the decade and even at the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941.
