Curtiss-Wright CW.12 Military Trainer Aircraft

The Curtiss-Wright CW.12 was a Training aircraft designed in the late 1920's by Herbert Rawdon and Ted Wells for Travel Air Mfg Co., whilst Travel Air is not a partially well known name now in the aircraft world, it was the reason for numerous others locating their aircraft producing companies in Wichita, including Walter Beech, Clyde Cessna and Lloyd Stearman. When Curtiss-Wright was formed in July 1929 by the merger of Travel Air Mfg Co and 11 other aeronautical companies all in financial trouble as result of the Great Depression, the aircraft was re-branded as the Curtiss-Wright CW-12 and CW-16.
