Curtiss-Orenco D
The Curtiss-Orenco D was the first fighter aircraft designed and built entirely by an American company. 54 airplanes were made over the production run. It was powered by a 300 hp engine, which could pull it to 139 mph, although cruise speed was typically slightly less. It could go 340 miles nonstop and climb to 12,450 ft. Its 1,140 ft/min rate of climb could get it there in 11 minutes. It was armed with 2 x .30 inch machine guns.
