This photograph showcases the Curtiss Model 81 Tomahawk I, registration number AH769, in its prime. The Tomahawk, a versatile transport and training aircraft, was manufactured by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company between 1934 and 1941. The Model 81 Tomahawk I was a single-engine, low-wing monoplane with a capacity to carry up to six passengers or a payload of 1,500 pounds. Its sleek design and robust construction made it a popular choice for both civilian and military applications. The aircraft in this image appears to be in pristine condition, with its gleaming metal surface reflecting the sunlight and its wings spread wide in flight. The Curtiss Tomahawk I was powered by a Wright Cyclone R-1820-F52 engine, capable of producing 750 horsepower. It had a cruising speed of 150 miles per hour and a range of 700 miles. The aircraft's versatility was further enhanced by its ability to be easily converted between various configurations, including passenger, cargo, and ambulance. This photograph captures a moment in aviation history, showcasing the grace and power of the Curtiss Model 81 Tomahawk I. With its distinctive design and impressive capabilities, the Tomahawk remains an iconic aircraft in the annals of aviation history.
