| | Curtiss SC-1/2 Seahawk, reviewed by James Hood |
 | | Curtiss Aircraft Company's SC-1 Seahawk catapult scout floatplane design team must have felt the same empty hopelessness as the folks who finished tooling up the last model of horsedrawn buggies, the day Henry Ford's factory began producing the Model T automobile. |
 | | In the SC-1 Seahawk's instance, the late-1944-introduced aircraft was a worthy successor to the US Navy's Vought OS2U Kingfisher and Curtiss SOC Seagull. |
 | | An all-metal, low-wing monoplane with plenty of strength, power, folding wings, adequate armament, the SC Seahawk certainly would have done a fine job, had it been introduced earlier in the history of catapult floatplanes. |
