“......ripoff of a Boeing design.”

Take some time, and read at the following site:

I suppose I found it fun to read the article, because I used to watch these things take off, and land when I was a kid working on the Long Beach Airport. Lots of memories.

I guess is was just the fuselage design that was originally from Boeing.

And the US Guppys were props.
