Can anyone tell me which town was host to Curtis Aircraft in New
Jersey? I'd appreciate any information.

Don't believe it was! Curtis was in Hammondsport, NY at the South tip of
one of the Finger Lakes. Near several large Wineries

When I used to be based at KCDW (Caldwell, NJ), people used to talk about
the old name of the airport being Curtis-Wright Field.

I don't think any of the original Curtiss company had anyhting in NJ, but I
think it's love child with Wright had a few different plants there.

They became huge after Wrigth acquired Curtiss and I think they were all
over the map after the merger. Still are, really, just not under the name
Curtiss Wright.

Ok you all got me wondering!
A search reveals he was from Hammondsport NY, It appears the first factories
were in Buffalo and in Southern California. My quick look turned up no
referance to NJ but with war production both WWI an II there may have been.
The first Jenny I believe came out of Hammondsport tho!

Oops, still Curtiss Wright. I thought they had been buried in GD, but I was
mistaken.
