Built in 1919 and registered as NC853. When the museum received the aircraft, the only existing piece was the fuselage. Volunteers were able to restore it and build new wings, etc. to produce this beautiful display. The Curtiss Museum also has an extensive collection of motorcycles and automobiles just a few of which are visible in the photo.
