The '''Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster''' (also known as the '''GB Sportster'''), sometimes nicknamed '''''The Flying Silo''''' due to the short, fat fuselage resembling that type of farm storage building, was a special purpose racing [[aircraft]] made by Granville Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, Massachusetts. Gee Bee stands for Granville Brothers. | |||
