Curtiss Model D

'There's got to be a great line drawn between these crypto scammers and the havoc they are wrecking on their victims. How would have I survived this tragedy of losing almost Six hundred and fifty-eight thousand Pounds to an impostor posing as a Blockchain trade agent? I just can't stop emphasizing the good deeds of CY-BER GENIE HACK PRO. I don't want to be like the 10 blind men from the bible who Jesus delivered them but only one came to appreciate his gestures to them. I am posting this review for myself, I am contributing my quota of making the internet the safe place it used to be by referring scammed victims to (CY BERGENIEHACKPRO) on Telegram for assistance in tracing, and high chances of recovering their stolen money. I wish those who had been rescued from fraudsters by Cyber Genie Hack Pro's team could post their success stories like mine, doing so, they will reach a larger audience thereby creating more awareness that you can recover your stolen money from scammers. My dealings with Cyber Genie were great, I first had my reservations because I had already lost hundreds of thousands worth of crypto coins, but I was thrilled by their engagement to my task of recovering my stolen money. Never give up if you have been scammed, CYB-ER-GE-NIEH-ACK PRO is all you need. You can find them on their WhatsApp also: (+)(1252-512-0391) Mail them on; (cybergenie(@)cyberservices(.)com)'

Jerrylink Credit Group has made a huge impact in my life. When I was in college, I unfortunately had to rely on my credit cards to help me with my expenses. By the time I finished college, I was unable to pay back a lot of those debts. As a result of that I ended up with a very low credit score and quite a few collections, so I sought out Jerrylink Credit Group. They were able to make a huge impact on my credit score. It went from the 500’s to the 700’s in a couple weeks. I couldn’t believe it. With that help, I was able to do so much more, lower the interest rate on financing my car, and to get approved for a great travel credit card which has really helped us while planning our wedding now. It’s been absolutely wonderful and I’m appreciative because I didn’t believe this process. Recommending as promised, you can reach out to them via: JERRYLINKGROUP@GMAIL.COM or text 626 514 0620.

During the period when this aircraft was built Curtiss and Wright are engaged in a major legal rivalry. The Wright Brothers claimed to hold the patent on ALL heavier-than-air airplanes. However, Curtiss rejected their claim on the grounds that his airplanes featured an entirely different control system, including the invention of ailerons (clearly shown between the airplanes wings in the photo above). In contrast, Wright airpanes were controlled by wing-warping. Ailerons were an enormous improvement because it meant that the wings did not have to be constructed thin enough to be flexible which, in turn, meant that airplanes could be constructed stronger and larger. Apart from that, Curtiss and Wright airplanes featured entirely different systems of pilot controls. As a result, since early Army aviators were trained by Wright and Curtis company pilots, the Army ended up with a set of "Curtiss Pilots" and "Wright Pilots", neither of whom were capable of flying the other company's airplanes. That insanity persisted until early 1917, when the Army Air Service was finally removed from the stifling control of the Signal Corps and established as a separate branch of the Army.

Am looking for information about a pilot named Robert "luckey Bob'St. Henry Who flew the ModelD at fargo, ND in 1911 making three flights.

The photo shows a late 1909 or 1910 Curtiss with the biplane canard and fixed stabilizer. By mid-1910 and into 1911, the Curtiss Model D varients all had single plane canards and swallow tails with a large fixed stabilizer and two independently controlled elevators. I am currently flying a 1911 replica and have done a lot of research.

I believe that I have an original photo of the Model D, Dated April 6, 1911, although I am not sure who the 3 men are in the photo... It was given to my Father as a child and passed along... I would love to know more History of the photo, if someone would be interested in taking a look... Please feel free to contact me...

Thank You
