 | Curtiss Flying School (22)
The Curtiss Flying School was start in the fall of 1915 by Aviation pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss when he bought 20 acres near the Newport News Boat Harbor (which is now the area just east of the north entrance for the Monitor and Merrimac Bridge Tunnel). Originally called the Atlantic Coast Aeronautical Station, it trained many civilian students as well as many World War I aces including General Billy Mitchell. The school was shut down in 1922 due to the lack of space to expand and competition from Langley Airfield. | | | |
