Date 'circa 1932'. The serial of the first aircraft can be read off the cowling in the full-size photograph. 31-244 is listed as crashed in Texas as late as 21 May 1939. Photo from: US Air Force

This 3/4 scale Boeing P-12C replica is powered by a 260hp Housai radial engine (a Chinese version of the Russian AI-14R). The aircraft is in the care of the Port Townsend Aero Museum.

On display at the super Planes of Fame museum.

This P-12 was delivered to the USAAC in Dec. 1933 and served until a landing accident at Chicago-Midway in May 1940 ended it's flying career. Now beautifully restored and on display at the super National Museum of the USAF.

The Model 100 was a civil version of Boeing's F4B-1 with four built. This one was sold to Pratt and Whitney for use as a flying test bed and later used by stunt and airshow pilot Milo Burcham and movie pilot Paul Mantz. Restored to flying condition with this Army P-12 color scheme in 1977, it was donated to the Museum of Flight in 1987.

This has to be my favourite Boeing! Thailand ordered two P-12Es in 1931, and one of them has survived for the RTAF Museum.
