Summary[edit]

Description

Burgess H, the first tractor aeroplane of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, on 21 October 1913. The Burgess H was an early airplane and possibly the first air machine specifically designed and built for military use. Classified as the "Model H military tractor", it was developed and built in 1912 by Burgess Company and Curtis, which in the following year became The Burgess Company. The 1st Aero Squadron of the U.S. Army Signal Corps relocated to North Island, San Diego, California, as a flying training unit on November 28, 1913. Its primary training aircraft were the Wright C (1913–1914) and Burgess H (1913–1915).

Original caption: "Burgess tractor of Burgess Co. & Curtis, 100 HP Renault, sold Army Air Service and delivered Oct. 21, 1913."
