Triad_A_1_Navy Hi guys. I found your email addresses on a message board about the Curtiss A-1 Triad. I know this was the original Navy seaplane and I know a replica flew in 2004. I have found some pictures that show a similar airplane flying in the 1960s. They are Black and White photographs that are stamped "Official US Navy Photograph". On the vertical stabilizer it is marked USN 000001. I haven't seen any pictures of an A-1 in the 1960s on the internet so far. Do you have any ideas about this airplane or what may have happened to it?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Don. Thanks for your reply! The pics I have look to be the same model plane as the yellow one in the photographs in your album (in the museum). The plane in my pics has what looks to be a mooring post on the front and of course it's on floats and it is seen in a hangar, on a tarmac, taxiing on water, and flying sometime in the 1960s. The tail marking is USN 00001. From the other photos I got with this, they look to have been taken at NAS Pensacola by a Photographer's Assistant. They are stamped "Official US Navy Photograph not for publication unless officially released". Another stamp says "Photographic Laboratory NAS Pensacola, Florida". I've attached a scan of one of the pics. Mike Salvo's e-mail address is ACSmotorsports@aol.com web author is angelica14709@yahoo.com
