The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company was founded by Glenn H. Curtiss in the early 1900s. To save the company from bankruptcy in the 1910s, Curtiss sold it to John N. Willys of the Overland Motor Company. With the onset of WWII the company moved its headquarters and most manufacturing activities to Bufallo, New York with a support operation in Toronto, Canada. The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company made many successful aircraft and because of Curtiss' interest in water flying, it pioneered the designs for seaplanes and flying boats.
