As the IPTC caption says, "Retractable landing gear was a new innovation in the
early 1930s".
IPTC caption: Martin XB-14 cockpit. Note the two placards in the cockpit that
remind the pilot to lower the landing gear before landing. Retractable landing
gear was a new innovation in the early 1930s.
(If your JPG viewer doesn't display IPTC caption, IrfanView does it, and more,
for free).
