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. The two planes, which were mixed together freely in their operating units, were the backbone of Army attack aviation through the early and mid 1930s. The A-12 abandoned the Curtiss Conqueror V-12 for a Wright radial, much more suitable for the attack role, and the rear cockpit was moved forward closer to the pilot's cockpit.
