Hi Patrick, Hope you enjoy!!!!
Mike and I went to the Glenn Curtiss Museum of Early Aviation. Curtiss was a pioneer in Motorcycle design as early as 1901, the first official public flight in America in 1908 and in 1911 the first successful seaplane. He also developed Hiahleah,FL in 1921, Miami Springs in 1923,Opa Locka in 1926 and in 1929 streamlined the travel trailer. As we wandered the museum, it was interesting to see many of his original motorbikes, which led to the motorcycle. Replica's of his "Jenny", in which both Earhardt and Lindbergh learned to fly. He associated with Alexander Graham Bell and later with the Wrights, to form the Curtiss-Wright Company. He success relates back to his ability to design lightweight engines, for Motorcycles and later for various aircraft. The aircraft flown by the "Flying Tigers" in WWII was designed by Curtiss and produced by Curtiss-Wright.
From the road,
Jan and Mike
