EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Curtiss F6C-1 Hawk, registration number A6968, in its prime. The Curtiss F6C-1 Hawk was a versatile biplane transport aircraft, produced by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company in the United States during the early 1920s. The aircraft was designed to meet the requirements of the United States Army Air Service for a utility transport plane, capable of carrying passengers, mail, or cargo. The F6C-1 Hawk was a biplane configuration with two wings, each with three bays and equipped with ailerons and interconnected flaps. The fuselage was made of wood and covered in fabric, while the wings were constructed of steel tubing and covered in plywood. Powered by a Wright Whirlwind J-5 engine, the Hawk could reach a top speed of 103 miles per hour and had a range of approximately 500 miles. This particular Hawk, A6968, was likely used for various transport missions during the 1920s, including the transportation of personnel, mail, and supplies. The image captures the aircraft in a serene moment on the tarmac, with its wings spread wide and the engine idling quietly in the background. The crew, dressed in their leather flight jackets and goggles, stand nearby, ready to board or prepare for the next mission. This photograph is a testament to the elegance and engineering prowess of the early aviation era, showcasing the Curtiss F6C-1 Hawk in its element. The intricate details of the aircraft, from the rivets on the wings to the engine components, are beautifully captured in this timeless image.
