Wittemann-Lewis NBL-1 Barling Bomber
Wittemann-Lewis NBL-1
Description: The Wittemann-Lewis NBL-1 “Barling Bomber” was one of the most ambitious aircraft projects of the 1920s, built to prove the concept of a long-range strategic bomber. With six engines, massive wings, and unprecedented size, it pushed engineering far beyond contemporary limits. Though ultimately impractical, it became a milestone in early U.S. Army Air Service experimentation and the evolution of heavy bombers.
