Curtiss-Wright SNC-1 Falcon II

The Curtiss-Wright SNC-1 Falcon II was the U.S. Navy’s designation for the CW-22 advanced trainer. Unlike the export versions, the SNC-1 was tailored for American naval requirements, serving as a vital platform for training pilots in advanced maneuvers, gunnery, and instrument flying. Its all-metal, semi-monocoque construction and Wright R-975 Whirlwind engine provided a reliable and modern transition for pilots moving toward high-performance frontline fighters like the F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat.
