On display in the Boeing Aviation Hangar room at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. Built in the 1920s by Italian immigrant Giuseppe Bellanca who founded the Bellanca Aeroplane Company, this Bellanca C.F. monoplane was intended as a commercial transport aircraft for four passengers, which unfortunately never worked out. However, the beautiful mahogany C.F. won several races in the 1920s and even had two aerial marriages in the cabin.
