| Kevin Fields, e-mail, 01.02.2017 05:16 The original designation was Curtiss Hydroplane. When the US Navy adopted it, it was designated A-1. It developed the nickname "Triad" because it was amphibious (land, sea, air). Curtiss later retroactively designated it Model E. reply | | Terrence Murphy, e-mail, 01.03.2014 23:52 As always with Curtiss aircraft, it's very hard to keep track of all the various designations. This airplane has been referred to at various times as the: Curtiss Hydroplane,"Triad" hydroaeroplane, Model E, and the A-1. reply | | Jim Lally, e-mail, 09.01.2012 21:21 In flight video of the A-1 can be accessed on YouTube search, enter JFL9180
