- Curtiss_Flying_School abstract "The Curtiss Flying School was started by Glenn Curtiss to compete against the Wright Flying School of the Wright brothers. The first example was located in San Diego, California. The Wright brothers took keen interest in the competition, sending the lesser known Lorin Wright to spy and take photographs at the New York facility for a 1914 lawsuit.Students would work toward completing the Aero Club of America pilot's license. The initial cost was one dollar a minute for the four hundred-minute course ($8,600 in 2010 dollars). In 1917 the U.S. Army took over operations during WWI. After the war, control went back to Curtiss, who closed Newport operations in 1922.A large variety of aircraft were used for training, mostly designed and built by Curtiss, and still undergoing flight testing. Among the fleet included the first aircraft to take off from water.By 1929, the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce took over licensing of aviation schools. Curtiss schools were registered and required to give two weeks of ground school instruction to new pilots.".
