He may have been taking advantage of the fact that his name was similar to Curtiss-Wright, the company started by Glenn Curtiss and the Wright Brothers.<br /><br />Curtis Wright worked with the man who started Airstream, so the CW Clipper trailers look like Airstreams.<br /><br />https://tincantourists.com/wiki/curtis-wright/Marc Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605121355650119523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-39855170605202790882020-06-24T21:57:11.369-07:002020-06-24T21:57:11.369-07:00This does create a mystery then.
