Curtiss-Cox Model 22 racer
One of the two Curtiss-Cox Model 22 racers, assembled as a monoplane before being crated for shipment to France. In the spring of 1920, Texas oil millionaire S. E. J. Cox decided to have two racers built for the James Gordon Bennett race to be held in France the following September. The two aircraft (named Texas wildcat and Cactus Kitten) were hastily designed, built and crated for shipment to France, without the benefit of flight testing
