[post_page_title]Douglas XB-19[/post_page_title]
While many of the planes on our list have been used during wars and other missions, there are some which never made it past the prototype stage… Such as the Douglas XB-19. Just one of these heavy bombers was made in 1941, in order to test the characteristics of similar large planes. While its construction was almost cancelled due to the overly expenses, it was eventually redeemed for test fly by the Army Air Corps. Its flight debut was on June 27, 1941, and after it was approved for flying, its main flying purposes were for transporting cargo until 1949.
The experiment was seen as far too expensive and the whole test was cancelled in 1949, with just one flight under its belt.
