Brown B-1 Racer - 1933 Original - Arrival & Assembly @ Fantasy of Flight

OK, Gang, here’s a video we put together of the Fantasy of Flight arrival of our original 1933 Brown B-1 Racer!

I acquired this in 2012, and it’s the only one ever built. It had been used in aviation competitions from the mid 30's to the 40's, mostly piloted by Ralph Bushey, a famous racing pilot of the time.

The plane was damaged in a crash during a race, when the engine fell out. It was put into storage until it could be re-built, in 1947, and flew exhibitions for a couple of years after. It was then put back into storage.

The B-1 passed through a number of owners before I acquired it for my collection at Fantasy of Flight.
