Curtiss Texas Wildcat Racer -- September 1, 2017


The Curtiss Model 22 racers Cactus Kitten and Texas Wildcat were built for American oilman Seymour E Cox to compete for the Gordon Bennett Cup races.  In the diagram, especially, the Texas Wildcat looks very modern.  The Wright racer looks less modern. 

The images are from the 1921 Aircraft Yearbook. Be sure to click on the images to see larger versions.
