One iconic aircraft that cannot be forgotten is the Curtiss JN4 Jenny of the RNAS. This reliable workhorse played a crucial role in training countless aviators during World War I. As time went on, newer models like the Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk IV progressively replaced their predecessors on battlefields around the world. These formidable machines were known for their versatility and firepower. But not all flights go according to plan. Douglas Corrigan, nicknamed "Wrong Way, " made history when he flew his plane against regulations from New York to Ireland instead of California. His daring adventure captured imaginations worldwide. Speaking of adventures, imagine witnessing the majestic sight of a Curtiss H12 Large America being warped aboard a towering aircraft carrier - an awe-inspiring display of engineering marvels coming together seamlessly. In another corner of aviation history lies the RNAS Curtiss H12 Large America 8671 - an embodiment of strength and endurance as it soared through skies with grace and power. Reaching milestones was second nature for Curtiss. The 15, 000th fighter produced by this legendary company was none other than the fearsome P-40 Warhawk - a testament to their dedication and commitment to excellence. Stepping inside a Hawk 75 fuselage reveals intricate details that make flying these magnificent machines possible. Every switch, gauge, and control panel tells its own story of bravery and skill.
