Explore our collection of diecast models of the Boeing P-26 Peashooter - Authentically Detailed, Historically Pioneering, and Collectible Airplane Models.

The Boeing P-26 Peashooter was a significant step forward in American fighter aircraft design. As the first all-metal monoplane fighter adopted by the United States Army Air Corps, it marked the transition from fabric-covered biplanes to more modern fighters. First flown in 1932, the Peashooter was distinctive for its open cockpit, fixed landing gear, and its sleek, streamlined design.

Despite its relatively short operational life, the P-26 played a pivotal role in the development of U.S. military aviation. It was used in various air forces across the world, including significant service in the Air Corps and in the early stages of World War II with other nations. The P-26's historical significance as a forerunner in modern fighter design and its unique, eye-catching appearance make it a favorite subject among aviation enthusiasts and model collectors, especially those interested in the interwar period and the evolution of military aircraft.
