The Curtiss H-16 "Large America" flying boat was introduced in 1917 and represented the final step in the evolution of the Curtiss Model H flying boat design.
With longer-span than the H-12, and improved, reinforced hull by Lt. Cmd. Cyril Porte, the H-16's were powered by 400 Hp Liberty 12A engines, achieving a top speed of 95 mph at sea level.
The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company in Hammondsport, and the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia built a total of 334 H16 units.
They were armed with up to 7 Lewis MG´s, and could carry 2x230lb depth charges or 4x100lb bombs.
Includes SCASM corrected virtual cockpit, Dp files (4 bombs), CFS1-type .air file, simple custom panel for mainly default gauges.
