He began like the Wright Brothers as a bicycle maker. But unlike the Wright brothers, Glenn Curtiss' dreams were about flying down the road on a motorcycle powered by his version of a V-8 engine.
"So when people were looking around for engines that would propel a dirigible which is a gas-filled balloon somebody mentioned Cutiss's engines. They had tremendous power but were relatively lightweight so he first got into the business of supplying engines for dirigibles," said Dr. Robert Archibald of the Missouri History Museum
That led Glenn Curtiss into the aviation which in 1909 led to an invitation to bring come to St. Louis.
"The Wright brothers had always been relatively secretive about their flights They didn't invite huge audiences to come and watch. Curtiss had no such scruples, so people came in droves to see Curtiss fly his airplane," said Dr. Robert Archibald.
Eventually, Curtiss partnered with the Wright brothers to form plane manufacturing company headquartered at Lambert field. At first much of what they built was military including the first pontoon plane. Later they introduced the Curtiss Robin which turned flying into an affordable hobby for the general public.
"He's the popularizer, the inventor he's the promoter and the very visible symbol of the dawning of the age of airplanes and aircraft. When human beings took to the sky for the first time and he had deep deep roots here because of his appearances here and his business interests as well." said Dr. Robert Archibald.
The Curtiss Wright Company left St. Louis long ago. The company is now an aerospace defense contractor. As far as Glenn Curtiss himself. He eventually moved to Florida where he went on to create what was known as a motorized bungalow which became the forerunner of the RV.
