Piston Giants (US) | Index Of Oddities Ep.3

In this episode we cover some of the largest piston driven aircraft ever built. While we primarily focus on designs with wingspan exceeding 200 feet, there are two exceptions; We discuss the XB-15, as I feel like we cannot go over the XB-19 without covering its smaller cousin. And the Boeing PBB, as it is likely the largest twin engine design ever built (to the extent of my knowledge - correct me if Im wrong.)

Some honourable mentions include the followin;
Boeing 314 Clipper - 152ft wingspan
Dogulas C-74 & C-124 - 173 & 174ft wignspan

In time, I plan on covering non-US built giants as well.
