Boeing Model 83 NX7133
Boeing Model 83 NX7133 (msn 1039, aka XF4B-1 number 1, A8129), first flown on 25 June 1928. The first of two XF4B-1s (Model 83 and Model 89), which remained Boeing-owned, without military markings or civil registrations on first flight and during Navy testing. Although they were not formally Navy property, they were referred to as XF4B-1s administratively. Both private venture prototypes were returned to the factory and were re-worked to production Model 99 F-4B-1s. They were subsequently purchased by the Navy as additional items, with serials A8128 (ex Model 89) and A8129 (ex Model 83). Date: circa 1928

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Boeing Model 83 NX7133 (msn 1039), also known as XF4B-1 number 1, which made its first flight on June 25, 1928. This aircraft was the first of two XF4B-1 prototypes (the other being Model 89) that remained Boeing-owned throughout the Navy testing phase, without military markings or civil registrations. Despite not being formally Navy property, they were administratively referred to as XF4B-1s. Both private venture prototypes underwent extensive reworking at the factory and were later purchased by the Navy as additional items, with serials A8128 (ex Model 89) and A8129 (ex Model 83). This Boeing Model 83 NX7133 is a significant piece of aviation history, marking a pivotal moment in the development of the F4B-1 series. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of aviation transportation.
