The Brewster Buffalo
The Brewster Buffalo was an internationally used monoplane. In fact, it was the first of its kind. The aircraft was frequently used in World War II. By the end, it was outdated and, in comparison to newer models, totally inoperable. Some people nicknamed it the Flying Coffin.
The Tupolev TU-144
This aircraft was originally intended for commercial usage. It had a space-age sleek design and already got the crowd talking. It could go from 0 to 1,200 in less time than most commercial planes of its era. Unfortunately, it was highly prone to turbulence and made for a very bumpy and scary ride. It was also extremely loud, especially on board. On its last voyage, the tank valve failed. They knew it was time.
