Most images of the Granville Brother's GeeBee series of racers don't show the plan-view, where you can actually see it's totally-streamlined shape from above or below.
The plane is very low drag, however it's so short it has little vertical stabilizer/rudder authority, and is prone to deadly spin.
Some test pilots would not even attempt to 'turn' the plane until they'd gained thousands of feet of altitude.
One flew the plane barefoot, as he could feel the onset of burble-point, at the threshold of flow separation and loss of control.
She was a high-performance race plane, and very unforgiving, claiming the lives of some who 'hurried' to learn her secrets.
