About Curtiss T-32 Condor II (YC-30)
Curtiss T-32 Condor II (YC-30) Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : The Curtiss T-32 Condor II, also known as the Curtiss-Wright
CW-4, biplane airliner was even more of an anachronism than its namesake, the
Condor 18 of four years earlier. Its only concession was the landing gear, its
main units retracting into the engine nacelles. A two-bay biplane of mixed
construction, with a wire braced single fin and rudder assembly, the T-32
prototype made its maiden flight on January 30, 1933. Layout for most of the
production batch of 21 aircraft that followed was as a luxury 12-passenger night
sleeper airliner, and a number of T-32s flew with Eastern Air Transport and
American Airways during the following three years of regular night service. Two modified T-32s were commission by the US Army as
transports and operated until 1938 under the designation YC-30. One Condor was
finished with extra fuel tanks as a long-range version for use by the 1933 Byrd
Antarctic Expedition. It was equipped with twin-floats, skis, or a fixed landing
gear. Ten T-32 were ultimately converted to AT-32 standards and
these were designated T-32C. Four T-32s operated under British civil
registrations. At the outbreak of World War II these were impressed into the RAF
and flown as light transports. Swissair also operated one AT-32. It was the
first airliner in Europe to have a Stewardess, but sadly met a tragic end
shortly after beginning service in March of 1934, when it crashed killing all on
board. Many other variants of the T-32 existed. The AT-32 differed
from the T-32 in having variable-pitch propellers and full NACA cowling, in lieu
to the T-32's Townsend rings. The AT-32D was developed as a 15-passenger day
airliner. Two AT-32E aircraft were built for the US Navy and operated under the
designation R4C-1 by the Navy and Marines as 12-passenger deluxe transports.
