Description
Curtiss Motorcycles: 1902-1912 by Richard Leisenring. The definitive account of the motorcycles built and raced by Glenn H. Curtiss before he became an aviation legend, following the Hammondsport shop’s output from 1902 to 1912. It documents Curtiss’s engineering experiments, the notable brands and models associated with his company, and his record-setting V-8 speed machine, using rare museum-sourced photographs to connect early motorcycling to the dawn of American flight.
