Artifact Overview
Glenn Curtiss established what would become the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company in his hometown of Hammondsport, New York, in 1909. As military orders soared during World War I, Curtiss relocated the company to Buffalo, New York, in 1916. Curtiss's firm was acquired by Willys-Overland the following year, and it merged with the Wright Company in 1929.
