Jack Fellows (American, B. 1941) "Granville Brothers Gee Bee Airplane" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Gee Bee stamp issued July 19, 1997. During the late 1920s and early 1930s, American airplane designers moved away from biplanes and began designing specialized high-performance monoplanes. With the hunger for speed, airframes grew smaller and their engines grew larger, the limit being reached with the creation of the Gee Bee Super Sportsters. The Gee Bee flown by Jimmy Doolittle in 1932 when he won the Thompson Trophy Race flying at 252.7 mph. Doolittle's brightly painted Gee Bee was powered by an 800-horsepower Wasp engine and had a wingspan of only 25 feet. When flown by less skilled pilots than Doolittle, these strange looking little planes were known to crash with disturbing frequency. Image Size: 16.5 x 14 in. Overall Size: 18 x 15.5 in. Unframed.
