While Boeing manufactured the Thomas-Morse MB-3 for the Air Force, the PW-9 was the first fighter designed and built by Boeing. The FB was the Navy / Marine version and 27 FB-2s were the first Navy aircraft built specifically for carrier operations.

On display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. The FB-5 was Boeing's first true carrier-borne fighter. This model saw service with VF-1 on USS Langley, VF-6B aboard USS Saratoga, VF-3B at San Diego and finally with Marine squadron VF-6M 'Red Devils'. Restoration of the aircraft was done by the USMC.

Boeing Model 67 Hawk preserved wearing the 1930's markings of Marines Squadron VF-6M based at NAS San Diego

This FB-5 is on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. This Hawk was assigned to Navy Squadron VF-1, aboard the USS Langley, in Jan. 1927. After eight months it was transferred to VF-6B aboard the USS Saratoga and then to VF-3B at San Diego in April 1928. Afer some modifications it was assigned to Marine fighter squadron VF-6M on March, 1930, serving briefly with that unit until being stricken from the Navy inventory in July 1930.

The Boeing 15 fighter served with the US Army as the PW-9 and with the Navy as the FB. The FB-5 model was the USN's first true carrier fighter. I understand it used 'grapple hooks' on an axle between the main wheels that this survivor doesn't have. The tail skid looks intriguing. Also the navigation light on the wing tip seems enormous, but this is mostly a wide angle effect.
