Granville Brothers Aircraft was founded in 1929 in Springfield, Massachusetts, and would eventually go on to produce some of the most famous racing airplanes in history. The Gee Bee Model E was one of the Sportster series, which traces its roots to the Model X, which first flew in 1930. This wing is from the last Model E built, NC72V (later NX72V). After the intact Q.E.D. in the Museo Francisco Sarabia in Mexico, it is believed to be the largest surviving piece of any of the company’s legendary low-wing racers.
