  Curtiss-Wright Corporation Records   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The original Keystone Aircraft Corporation was founded in 1920, in Ogdensburg, New York, as Huff-Daland Airplanes Incorporated, with a contract for Army Training Planes.
Due in part to the slump in the private aircraft market and a decrease in the government contracts for military aircraft, the Bristol plant closed in 1932 and the Keystone division of Curtiss-Wright ceased to exist.
Using notations made in the videodisc collection and Keystone's own photograph identification numbers, as recorded on the original file folders and the photographs themselves, it was possible to find the location of most of the Keystone Aircraft Corporation photographs.

Aircraft were designated by a letter assigned to the current manufacturers.
However, on March 10, 1923, it was decided that the emphasis should be placed on type of aircraft, not the manufacturer, so the manufacturer's letter was placed after the mission letter.

 Appendix H
In the development of military aircraft one of the outstanding contributions made by the Committee has been the determination of the aerodynamic loads to which the aircraft is subjected in military maneuvers.
The safety factors on which military types of aircraft are now constructed are based on the results obtained in free flight tests, showing the actual measurement of the air loads on the wings and tail surfaces of the airplane.
The one single question in which the aircraft industry as a unit was interested was to know the proper method of cowling and cooling the Wright Whirlwind engine; to know the drag or resistance of this engine so that computations can be made as to the performance of the aircraft.
