Globe Swift GC-1B
Sport Touring Aircraft from the 1940s
The Globe Swift GC-1B is a sleek, two-seat touring aircraft, made entirely of metal, designed just after World War II in the United States. Known for its stylish design, maneuverability, and performance, it attracted many civilian pilots looking for a sporty experience in a compact airplane.
Equipped with retractable landing gear and a more powerful engine than earlier versions, the GC-1B represents one of the first generations of modern light aircraft in American civil aviation.
Today, it is considered a vintage classic, often seen at airshows and carefully maintained by enthusiasts.
