Am I correct in thinking the Robin was the first civil production Curtiss, not counting Glenn Curtiss's earliest experimental airplanes and seaplanes? And secondly, can anybody name any other purely civilian Curtisses other than the Condor biplane airliner? (Again, not counting military designs that had occasional civil use, like the 1930s Falcons and the Commando.) Admittedly there's the Jenny, which probably ended up have vastly more civil than military use...

The H model flying boats were designed as civil mail aircraft, but were used militarily.
