About This File

CFS/FS98 USMC Beechcraft G-17S/GB-1 "Staggerwing". The Beech GB-1 was the Navy and Marines Version of the Beech G-17. The Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing is an American biplane with an atypical negative stagger (the lower wing is further forward than the upper wing), that first flew in 1932. During WWII, the United States Army Air Corps purchased 270 Model 17s for service within the United States and overseas as the UC-43. These differed only in minor details from the commercial model. To meet urgent wartime needs, the government also purchased or leased (impressed) additional "Staggerwings" from private owners including 118 more for the Army Air Force plus others for the United States Navy. In Navy service the planes were designated as GB-1 and GB-2. Original FS5/FS98 model by Robert Parrick/Tom Miller. All reworked to CFS with metalized textures, fictional armament, damage profile and moving parts by Edmundo Abad.
