Original Title: TIL The XNBL-1 "Barling Bomber" was an experimental American bomber that was nicknamed “Mitchell's Folly". It was so underpowered that on a flight from Dayton, Ohio to an airshow in Washington, DC, it failed to achieve enough height to get over the Appalachian Mountains and had to turn around.
