EDITORS COMMENTS
Evoking the rich history of early aviation, this photograph showcases the XNBL-1 AS64215 main undercarriage unit bungee shock absorber during its manufacture at Witteman-Lewis Co. in circa 1923. Designed by Walter Barling, the XNBL-1, also known as "The Barling Bomber," "Witteman-Lewis XNBL-1," and "McCook Field Project P-303," was an impressive large triplane that boasted six 420hp Liberty L-12 engines, quad landing gear, and four tails. Contracted to Witteman-Lewis Co. for manufacture at Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, the XNBL-1 was shipped to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, in disassembled sections via train. The aircraft made its first flight on August 22, 1923, but was only flown a few times before being dismantled and ultimately scrapped in 1928. In this image, we witness the intricate process of creating the main undercarriage unit's bungee shock absorber, a crucial component in ensuring a smooth landing for the XNBL-1. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovation, craftsmanship, and engineering prowess that characterized the early days of aviation.
