Description: CFS2 Curtiss A-8 Shrike

The A-8 was the first Curtiss tactical monoplane built for the U.S. Army; all previous designs by this company for the US Army were biplanes. The A-8 had many advanced features, including an all-metal structure with an all-metal covering. It had trailing edge flaps and full span leading-edge slats which opened automatically at high angles of attack However, the low-mounted wings were externally braced with struts and wires, which was definitely a throwback to an earlier era. The crew sat in widely-separated individual cockpits. The pilot sat well forward in an open cockpit and controlled four 0.30-inch machine guns that were mounted in the undercarriage fairings in such a way that their field of fire cleared the propeller arc. The rear cockpit was provided with a canopy and was fitted with a single 0.30-inch flexible machine gun. The name Shrike was quite often applied to this aircraft, but this was actually a Curtiss company name, and was not used by the US Army for the A-8.

Description: CFS2 Curtiss A-12 Shrike

The Curtiss A-12 Shrike was a radial-engined derivative of the A-8, which was the first monoplane attack aircraft to serve in substantial numbers with the US Army Air Corps. It was the main aircraft of Army attack plane strength throughout the early to mid-1930s. However the A-12 was rapidly made obsolescent by advances in aviation technology and its service with front-line units of the Army Air Corps was quite brief. By the late 1930s, it had been relegated largely to training units. Except for 20 export versions which were sent to China, the A-12 took no part in aerial combat during World War 2. It had been found that the wide separation between the two cockpits of the A-8 hindered communication and cooperation between the two crew members, so on the A-12 the rear cockpit was moved forward to share a common location with the pilot's cockpit. The rear gunner's cockpit had a sliding canopy and the pilot's cockpit was now fully open and was protected only by a windshield. The A-12 had a set of full-span leading edge slats which opened automatically at high angles of attack. The A-12 also had a set of trailing edge wing flaps. The name Shrike was quite often applied to this aircraft, but this was actually a Curtiss company name, and was not used by the US Army.

Kurt,

Shrugs...it's what they pay me for. Still waiting for the check, though.

Dang! I noted that and corrected it but it looks like it didn't take. I can no longer edit the file because it is now listed under peperez's name.

Here is the correct zip.

Rami could you please put this file where it belongs?

Many thanks

Same story, I attempted to edit it to the right file but evidently it's not working. Here's the correct file.

Rami, if you would please.

It's a good thing I am at the end of these uploads, I am fair cross-eyed with it all.

***Rami*** · January 9th, 2017, 00:18

Good morning,

All fixed, no problem at all.

**Captain Kurt** · January 9th, 2017, 08:19

Thanks Rami

**SPman** · January 9th, 2017, 18:23

Thanks Capt Kurt.

(I checked my backup drive last night and found I had all these after all, but, thanks for the effort and they're here for access, now)
