Curtiss Aerocar Company Advertising Letter and Brochure, November 2, 1933

01

Artifact Overview

Motorcycle and aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss formed the Curtiss Aerocar Company in 1928. The Aerocar was an early version of the fifth-wheel campers that became popular in later decades. The trailer's strength and carrying capacity were due in part to struts and wires inspired by those used in Curtiss's early airplanes.
