This is a look at the aircraft made by Glenn Curtiss and his company during those dates. There isn't much on Curtiss himself, the book is instead focused on the specific aircraft, each of which is given its own section. Lots of photos and line drawings. It does have some history of the company as well. If it has a weakness it is that the book is more of an encyclopedia than a narrative history which makes it seem a bit disjointed at times, but overall worth the trouble to read if you are interested in the subject.
