Aviation

Glenn Curtiss was one of the pioneer aircraft manufacturers in the United States and is often considered the father of naval aviation. His first business venture, the Curtiss Manufacturing Company, built and sold motorcycle engines as well as complete motorcycles. As a member of Alexander Graham Bell's Aerial Experiment Association (AEA), he built the engines for the Red Wing and the White Wing early in 1908, piloted his first plane, and built and flew the June Bug that June.
