We are the excited new owners of this photo of the Navy Curtiss Flying Boat NC-2, the first photo we have seen of her afloat. She is shown in an early configuration, with 4 motors in tractor/pusher tandem configuration on the wings, the early propellers with the large roots and the pilot pod suspended above the hull. NC-2 did not make the Transatlantic crossing attempt, but arguably played the most important role because she donated parts to the other Nancies just prior to their 8 May 1919 departure. (Photo dated 4.21.'19)
