The brothers built many racing planes. Their most notorious was the: Gee Bee Super Sportster, models R1 and R2. James Doolittle won the 1932 Thompson Trophy race flying a Gee Bee R1 at a speed of 252.686 miles per hour. The R1 had an 800Horsepower Pratt&Whitney Wasp Senior engine installed. Today You can see a Gee Bee R2 on the Air Show circuit, This breathtaking, outstanding replica was built by Delmar Benjamin and Steve Wolf, and is flown by Delmar, who is a superbly skilled pilot, and has more hours flying a Gee Bee R2 than any man in history. Like many other people, I have been fascinated by the Gee Bee all my life, and to see one flying is so very exciting to me that I cant describe it with words.
