OMG, the Barling Bomber. It had six engines, three wings and a 10-wheel
landing gear. The most significant feature of the aircraft was its wing span
of 120 feet. An aircraft as big as the XNBL-1 would not be produced until
1935 when the XB-15 with a 149-foot span was built (Note: the B-17 wing span
is about 104 feet). All that remains of this one-off mammoth is the nose
wheel and a main landing gear wheel.
