Curtiss R3C Floatplane Racer
FS2004/FSX Curtiss R3C biplane racer Curtiss-built biplanes that equipped fighter units of the Air corps and Navy during the 1920’s and 30’s were inspired by the air racing during the early 1930’s. In 1925 the U.S. Army and Navy ordered from the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company aircraft of basically the same design but with individual variations. The R3C variants ran away with first place in both trophy races in that same year. One of them also established a straightaway speed record for seaplanes of 245.7 mph. Source included.
