Delmar Benjamin built an exact replica of the Gee Bee (Granville Brothers) and disproved all the myths about how dangerous the airplane was. The Gee Bee was a very hot ship for its day and men like Doolittle mastered it only through careful piloting and experience. Benjamin proved that the Gee Bee, like any airplane, is only as dangerous as the experience level of its pilot. If you were lucky enough to see Benjamin's aerial demonstration with his replica Gee Bee then you know that it suffered decades of misunderstanding by the myth-makers. You might try YouTube to see if someone posted any of Benjamin's Gee Bee performances--they are spectacular.
