Curtiss D-III Headless Pusher, 1912. Creator: Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company
Pusher biplane with one 50-horsepower Curtiss V-8 engine. Fabric covered surfaces light yellow. Struts and landing gear orange. In 1909, the G.H. Curtiss Manufacturing Company delivered the firms first airplane, a pusher design with elevators in the front, called the Golden Flyer, to the New York Aeronautical Society. In 1911, Curtiss began to concentrate on the military market, selling three airplanes to the U.S. Navy. Curtiss continued the evolution of the pusher design with the development of the D-II (the Golden Flyer was considered the Model D) and the D-III, to which a second set of elevators were added to the rear in place of the fixed horizontal stabilizer formerly used on the D and D-II models

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Curtiss D-III Headless Pusher, a pioneering aircraft from 1912. Created by the renowned Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, this pusher biplane features a single 50-horsepower Curtiss V-8 engine that propelled it through the skies with remarkable speed and agility. The light yellow fabric covering its surfaces adds an elegant touch to its design, while the vibrant orange struts and landing gear provide a striking contrast. The evolution of this pusher design began in 1909 when the G. H. Curtiss Manufacturing Company delivered their first airplane, known as the Golden Flyer, to the New York Aeronautical Society. As they ventured into military aviation in 1911, Curtiss sold three airplanes to the U. S. Navy and continued refining their pusher models with innovations such as adding a second set of elevators at the rear instead of using fixed horizontal stabilizers. This photograph captures not only an important milestone in aviation history but also represents America's dedication to advancing air transport during this era. Preserved within the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), this image serves as both an educational resource for future generations and a testament to Glenn H. Curtiss' contributions to flight technology. With its black background emphasizing every intricate detail of this wooden airframe masterpiece, this studio shot allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty simultaneously. This Heritage Art print is truly a window into our past, reminding us of how far we have come in our quest for innovation in transportation and scientific exploration.
