Curtiss "Condor" Twin-Motor Plane Trial Flight, 1929
01
Artifact Overview
The Curtiss Condor airplane had its origins in a twin-engine military bomber introduced in 1929. The civilian version carried 18 passengers and flew for commercial airlines. With its biplane wings and closed cockpit, the Condor was something of a bridge between pioneering aircraft like Boeing's Model 40 and more modern airliners like Douglas's DC-3.
