The Staggering Bitch?
An Americentric question, but maybe somebody knows the answer nonetheless.
During the 1970s, when James Gilbert and I were at Flying, Gilbert did a Beech Staggerwing article in which, at one point, he referred to the Model 17 as "the Staggering Bitch." (We got a number of letters from Staggerwing enthusiasts protesting this heresy.)
Question: Is this something James made up, or was the Model 17 indeed jokingly known, at least among the irreverent, as the Staggering Bitch?
