Berliner-Joyce P-16
The Berliner Joyce P-16 was a 1930s two-seat fighter airplane produced for the United States Army Air Corps. It first flew 1930 and it entered service in 1932. It served until 1940, right when American military leaders sensed that the United States was on the verge of war. 26 were built during a short production. It was powered by a 600 hp engine, giving a maximum speed of 172 mph. It could go 650 miles without needing refueling. It was armed with 2 x fixed forward firing and 1 x flexibly mounted .30 inch machine guns. It could carry 224 lbs of bombs.
This is a GREAT vintage aircraft site with pictures. Keep up the work by adding more aircraft with descriptions and pictures.
