Chino Airshow 2014
Northrop N9M-B

The Northrop N-9M was a development aircraft built in 1/3 scale for development and testing to use for the XB-35 flying wing bomber concept. The first N-9M flight took place on December 27, 1942. The aircraft were flown for testing until the cancellation of the B-35 program. All but one of the N-9M aircraft were destroyed after the cancellation. This aircraft sat rotting until 1982, when it was acquired by the Planes of Fame Museum at Chino which restored it to flyable status.
