Absent from the above glowing article, probably written in the 50's, is the fact that Beech recognized the error of their ways and after farting around with reinforcements for a while, finally gave up and started to make their planes almost like they were supposed to in the first place, with three pieces in the tail.

I imagine the next change will be to move the wings where they belong so the long suffering pilots and passengers can enter the plane in the rain without getting a wet seat, can have a view of the ground, can have a cabin that is shaded from the hot sun, etc.
