Hmm, I see

May I ask, George, from where does the notion it was C-2 which was used in France?

The Sperry gyro was used in many Curtiss flying boats and it seems Curtiss was more interested in it than the Navy.

It seems odd to me that the US Navy should bail back an aircraft to Curtiss (and Sperry) when there were plenty of 'boats around at Hammondsport....
