Curtiss Aerocar, 1928
Add to SetSummary
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.
