The John's Multiplane bomber prototype was a study in excess and failure. Fitted with seven mainplanes and powered by three 400 hp Liberty V-12 engines, it was not able to take off and crashed on test. A look at the photos reveals an entirely excessive number of wings and struts.

John's Multiplane after a take-off attempt. It never made a successful flight despite its three Liberty Engines and all those wings. The John's Multiplane was the ultimate excess for too many wings.
