The Christmas Bullet
The Christmas Bullet was an American single-seated cantilever biplane. This was the original design from Dr.William Whitney Christmas, a man who turned out to be quite the mad scientist. A fatal flaw of the bullet was that it became a death trap upon reaching a certain altitude, the creator gave assurance about this. Alas, the plane didn’t have to reach very dizzying heights before it became lethal, its test flight pilot Cuthbert Mills met his maker due to the bullets wings caving in, and to make matters worst Mills’ dear mother had to witness this tragedy as she was part of the audience!
