THE AIRPLANE THAT TRIED TO DO IT ALL

After their first two flights, the Wright brothers modified their airplane somewhat 
to obtain better performance and control …


…and in the years that followed, designers and builders made countless modifications 
in order to come up with spectacular airplanes like this.


But there was a unique airplane that began as a "plain Jane" flying machine and was modified many times to accomplish the missions it was called upon to perform. The airplane in question 
served well throughout its lifetime but came to a sorry end.
