| John D. Voss , CA | The Dutch Air Force ordered 61 Curtiss Falcons (known as the CW-22B)for use in the Netherlands East Indies. Thirty-five were delivered and 21 were enroute when Japan invaded the area. The enroute aircraft were diverted to Australia twelve of which were impressed by the USAAF and were assigned to the 35th Pursuit group. No formal USAAF serials or designations were ever assigned to these aircraft. The last five of the original order never left the USA and were turned over to the USN as SNC-1's. 04/07/2006 @ 08:38 [ref: 13076] |

Your page is Wonderful! I belong to the Aeronautical Museum Asosiation Friends from Montevideo Uruguay. We have a Curtiss SNC-1, but in a big fire, this plain was parciality burned and we need plans to recovered it. Do you Know about someone that could help us? Our Air Force had a several SNC 1, but now we have only one and we know that they are a very rare piece around the world. If you want we can send you some pictures old and news. Please, if you have any idea write me. Thank you very much. Wilman Fuentes. 02/18/2005 @ 15:49 [ref: 9471] |
