The Wright-Bellanca WB-2, was a high wing monoplane aircraft designed by Giuseppe Mario Bellanca, initially for Wright Aeronautical then later Columbia Aircraft Corp.
Based on its all-wood forerunner, the Wright-Bellanca WB-1, only one was produced, variously named Columbia, Miss Columbia, and later Maple Leaf. The WB was the second in a series of designs by Bellanca, following his prior fabric-covered all-wood CE biplane.
