12 June 1914

Despite having been found to have many deficiencies after its first flight late in 1913, the first Curtiss Model G was accepted by the Signal Corps (at a cost of $5,500) on 12 June 1914 as S.C. No. 21. It had been extensively modified prior to delivery and was then fitted with floats for Hawaiian service. After a few months the Corps gave up on it and sold it out of service.
