EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Curtiss Falcon (Conqueror) Mailplane NX5988, a remarkable aviation innovation from the golden age of flight. The Curtiss Falcon was initially designed as a high-performance biplane, but this particular model, msn 1, was transformed into a mail-plane by adding an enclosed cabin forward of the pilot's cockpit. The Falcon Mailplane NX5988 was on loan to Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) during the late 1920s. The aircraft's streamlined design and efficient engine made it an ideal choice for long-distance mail delivery. However, tragedy struck on August 21, 1928, when the plane met with an unfortunate end during a flight. The era of mail planes marked a significant milestone in aviation history, as they paved the way for commercial air travel. This image captures the essence of that time, with the Curtiss Falcon Mailplane NX5988 standing as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the early aviators who pushed the boundaries of flight. The Curtiss Falcon Mailplane NX5988, with its sleek lines and powerful presence, embodies the spirit of adventure and progress that characterized the early days of aviation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in the history of flight.
