Boeing B-15 with formation flying in background, at Army Air Corps 30th anniversary celebration at Wright Field; 8-2-39. Three-quarter left front view of Boeing XB-15 (s/n 35-277) on the ground. Photo was taken at the Army Air Corps 30th anniversary celebration at Wright Field on 2 August 1939. Unidentified aircraft are visible in the background in formation flight past the XB-15.
 
Based on another post somewhere on here I did some digging just to satisfy my own curiosity. Apparently it was a severely underpowered beast. Unable to meet the requirements set forth for it. But she was a magnificent looking bird!
 
In a recent post by Snautzer01, I noticed some Boeing XB-15 pictures:



The bottom right picture made me consider if that was some of the remains, post scrapping, of XB-15 being hauled away. Though I now would argue against it, I thought I would postulate it here nonetheless.



A close-up...NOTE difference in prop hubs.
