The USAAC found out in trials that the Peashooters could not intercept the high-flying Y1B-9s.

Cleveland Models has an EXCELLENT set of drawings for a flying model of the B-9. The "new" Cleveland Company also goes by the name of ClevelandAirline. These are great plans, and the only ones available that I know of.

Disregard the Douglas Y1B-7. Error on my part.
