The Curtiss R3c is perhaps the finest American air racer of the 1920s. In 1925 it won both the Pulitzer Trophy and Schneider Cup and set a world speed record. Though it now resides in the National Air & Space Museum there are rumors that this thoroughbred of the Skies was used at one time for illicit activities. Evidence suggests that a R3c, converted to fighter configuration, was part of an aerial pirate group that scourged the Adriatic during the summer of 1929. This part of the R3cs history is shrouded in mystery. |
