overview : The Niagara Aerospace Museum is dedicated to the tens of thousands of Western New Yorkers who contributed so much to the world's aviation and space flight endeavors. From the early days of Glenn Curtiss and Reuben Fleet to Larry Bell, THE RIGHT STUFF STARTED HERE. Buffalo was America's center of aviation from 1917 to 1940; and an industry leader well into the 21st century: The world's largest aircraft manufacturing plant produced Curtiss flying boats and "Jenny" trainers during WW I. Curtiss also produced the US Navy's racing hydroplanes here that established speed records in the Pulitzer and Schneider Cup races.
