The Hall PH- was an American flying boat of the 1930s. In December 1927, the U.S. Navy placed a contract with the Hall-Aluminum Aircraft Corporation of Bristol, Pennsylvania for a developed version of the Naval Aircraft Factory PN-11and could hence trace its lineage back to the Felixstowe flying boats of the First World War. The XPH-1 had identical wings and a similar metal hull to that of the PN-11, but was fitted with a large single fin and rudder. It was powered by two Wright Cyclone radial engines and accommodated its two pilots side by side in an open cockpit, with cockpits for gunners in the nose and behind the wings. |
