The P-12 was one of the most successful American fighters produced between WW I and WW II.  Used by both the Army and Navy (as the F4B), the P-12 was developed from prototypes built by the Boeing Airplane Company at their own expense.

It was produced in  five series,  -A through -F.

The -A to -D series had fabric covered fuselages of bolted aluminum tubing.

P-12E and P-12F fuselages were all-metal, semi-monocoque (stressed skin) construction. All had wooden wings with fabric covering.

The Army Air Corps received its first P-12 in Feb. 1929 and the last P-12F in May 1932. The P-12 was the last of the biplane fighters flown by the Army with some remaining in service until 1941. In all, 366 were produced for the Army. More P-12Es were built (110) than any other series.
