About the Gee Bee R-2:

The Granville Brothers Gee Bee Model R-2 was built for the 1933 racing season as a slightly larger and more powerful variant of the famous R-1. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior engine producing 535 horsepower, the R-2 featured the same radical design philosophy that prioritized speed over stability. Though challenging to fly, these aircraft represented the pinnacle of 1930s air racing technology and captured the imagination of aviation enthusiasts worldwide.
