Description

The Curtiss Aerocar 1928-1940 is a comprehensive history of an innovative travel trailer that blended aircraft design principles with engineering creativity. Glenn H. Curtiss, a pioneering engineer and aviation icon, designed the Aerocar as a personal project, but it eventually became a commercial sensation. This book delves into the Aerocar's history, exploring how it pioneered safe and comfortable long-distance road travel and featuring innovative safety features such as the Aero Coupler. With previously unpublished images from the Curtiss family archives, readers will gain insight into the development of this groundbreaking vehicle. Written by RV historian Andrew Woodmansey in partnership with the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, this volume covers both commercial and luxury variants of the Aerocar, making it a valuable resource for enthusiasts of design, recreational vehicles, travel, and transportation history.
