Portrait of Glenn Curtiss, 1910-1912
01
Artifact Overview
Glenn Curtiss pioneered aileron control systems and designed some of the first successful seaplanes. He formed an exhibition flying team, and he set several flight records of his own. Starting in 1909, Curtiss was involved in a bitter patent dispute with the Wright brothers. It wasn't resolved until 1917, when World War I forced the creation of a patent pool.
