I have tried to find information about the Curtis Airplane Factory. Haven't been able to find much. I did find pictures of fighter planes made by Curtis. It might be possible that Curtis has since become Boeing, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

My grandmother, Grace Halstead Johnson, worked there during WWII. I never asked her how she got to work, but it was a long commute since she lived on the Niagara-Orleans County Line Road.
