Original 1918 V-8 engine, two more engines were being rebuilt, but were not finished in time for the first flight. Original engine didn't have enough power to lift plane off the water, it flew the next year with rebuilt engines, unfortunately I wasn't in town when it did. I have a photo of it flying if I can get dispensation to post a friends photo.

Glenn Curtiss did far more for aviation than the Wright Brother ever dreamed of. All they did was to bicker over patents after their flight.
