PW-9 Biplane

The Boeing PW-9 was an American pursuit biplane of the 1920s, associated with the transition from wartime aircraft toward improved interwar fighters. Its welded-steel-tube structure and conventional biplane arrangement reflected the technology of the period.

Boeing’s Model 15 established the company as an important American fighter manufacturer. The Army designated its aircraft PW-9, while related Navy versions received FB designations and were adapted through successive variants. A liquid-cooled engine, fabric covering, and fixed landing gear retained familiar interwar features alongside the modern welded structure. Its career preceded the company’s better-known P-12 fighters and later monoplane developments, recording an early stage in Boeing’s military-aircraft work rather than a Second World War combat design.
