X-Plane 11.40+ Northrop Gamma 2B "Polar Star" 1.0.1. Polar Star is the airplane used by polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth. Polar Star was an all-metal Northrop Gamma, which had a low-wing, reducing the effects of winds and wide skis that could be swapped with wheels or pontoons. In 1936, Ellsworth donated Polar Star to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. It is now housed at the National Air and Space Museum. By Philippe Gastebois.
