| The XF3B-1 (Model 74) was built by Boeing as a private
venture and externally resembled closely the F2B-1, but
had provision for a single central float with outboard
stabilising floats. Powered by a 425hp Pratt & Whitney
R-1340 Wasp, it was flown for the first time on 2 March
1927 as a float seaplane. Showing no significant
advance over the F2B-1, the XF3B-1 was returned to
Boeing by the US Navy and completely rebuilt (as the
Model 77), a redesigned undercarriage, wing and tail
being introduced. In this new form the fighter proved
successful and was the basis of an order from the US
Navy for 73 production examples as F3B-1s. The F3B-1
was of mixed construction with wooden wings, a steel-tube
fuselage and fabric skinning, but the ailerons and
tail surfaces were of semi-monocoque all-metal construction
with corrugated covering. Armament comprised
two synchronised 7.62mm machine
guns and provision was made for five 11kg
bombs to be carried. The first flight of the rebuilt
XF3B-1 took place on 3 February 1928, and the first production
F3B-1, powered by an R-1340-B Wasp, was delivered
to the US Navy on 23 November 1928.

| Frank Donovan, e-mail, 24.01.2024 06:21 I am so happy to have consulted RAPID RESCORE CREDIT for my credit repairs. I discovered that I had 5 negative items on my credit most especially IRS, delayed payments and loans and over 7 hard inquiries from every bureaus and it hindered me from moving forward in my business. I could not access any loan so I started looking for ways to salvage my condition, I then discovered this specialist (RAPID RESCORE CREDIT) on reddit though there were other ones there but my instinct directed me towards Mr Jackson. I was asked for funds to get started with the job and I gave them the benefit of doubt and made some commitments. My fico score was moved from 609 to an excellent score (799) and all the negatives were deleted from my report. Right now I have a clean profile with wonderful trade lines. I’m recommending their services to anyone in dire need of credit fix, you can reach them via JACKSONRAPIDCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM reply | | Morgan Kennedy, e-mail, 10.12.2023 08:26 Mr. Jerry and I have worked together for many years now in a professional setting.

Thank me later. reply | | Grace Peterson, e-mail, 02.12.2023 03:50 I strongly JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP: I think they are the best in terms of credit repair. I had worked with different credit companies in the past, but there was no significant change on my credit report. So many credit forums recommended DYI, I tried every credit hack in the book all o no avail. A real estate agent introduced me to Mr. Jerry, who has been helping his clients. Mr. Jerry and his team helped me erase all the negative things on my report, and raised my score to excellent score across all three bureaus. I’m recommending as promised. They are available on gmail: JERRYLINKGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM or +16265140620 reply | | Leon Cody Garcia, e-mail, 28.11.2023 23:32 We will fix your credit; remove all negative items, clear loans, collections and hard inquiries and also raise your score to 760+ ASAP. These were the exact words from M. Jerry when I contacted him via JERRYLINKGROUP at GMAIL dot COM. I decided to give JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP a try and to my greatest surprise it worked out for me. In less than 11days after all documentation; my score drastically increased to 810 across the three national credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), I could no longer sight evidence of collections, negative marks, mortgage loan, collections and hard inquiries on my credit report. I honestly appreciate Mr. Jerry for fixing my credit. reply | |
