Evaluated by the US Navy during 1928 under the designation XF4B-1, this biplane was flown at the Navy Test Center, Anacostia, Maryland; and was also tested by US Army pilots operating from the same airfield. As a result of US Navy evaluation, 27 airplanes were ordered under the designation F4B-1. The first production plane was flown on May 6, 1929, and all aircraft were delivered within less than four months. The Model 102 (P-12) was the designation of the first nine of ten airplanes, generally similar to the XF4B-1, ordered by the US Army as a result of testing at Anacostia. Production of this family of airplanes eventually totaled 586, including several variants. The Boeing Model 235 (F4B-4) used one 550-hp Pratt & Whitney R-1340-16 radial engine, giving this biplane a maximum speed of 188 mph at 6,000 feet, climb to 5,000 feet in 2 minutes 42 seconds, service ceiling of 26,900 feet, and a range of 370 miles. Airplane armament was two 30-caliber fixed forward-firing machine guns. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
