The Wittemann-Lewis XNBL-1 experimental heavy bomber, first flown in 1923, featured six engines, 36.6-metre wingspan, and 19.8-metre fuselage. Its 155 km/h speed and 274-kilometre range were modest, reflecting early 1920s multi-engine bomber development. The XNBL-1 represented American experimentation in strategic bombing aircraft.
