I amd flying the Curtiss Condor circa 1933 which I got at the great site the
old hangar, I have installed all or most of the old airports from the 1930s
from the Old Hangar and I fly across the US in the T-32 Curtiss Condor, it was
an airliner that emerged just as the Douglas DC-1 was about to fly. The Condor
carried 14 passengers and Capatain and and first officer...I do'nt know if it
carried a flight attendant but it was a airplane almost head of its time,
retracting landing gear, and a nose almost like the DC-1, but it had two wings
a bi-wing type, I can only guess it was in compatition with the Ford Tri-motor,
the Stinson Tri-motor, and the Fokker Tri-motor, but it was a beautiful
airplane in its Eastern Air Transport and American Airways colors, it was very
fast for its time. I have tried to find out information of the Condor, but have
not been succesful at this time. Does anyone know how many were built? How long
they were in service? What other airlines flew them? If any examples excist
today?
Cheers To All (PS visit the old Hangar site its like going back in time)
