The Curtiss-Wright SNC-1 Falcon was a scout and advanced trainer aircraft used by the United States Navy during World War II. It was derived from the civilian CW-22 design, which was also sold to several foreign air forces. The SNC-1 had a low-wing monoplane configuration with retractable tailwheel landing gear and a two-seat cockpit with a large canopy. It was powered by a Wright R-975 Whirlwind radial engine that drove a two-blade propeller. The SNC-1 was armed with two machine guns, one fixed and one flexible. The Navy ordered 305 SNC-1s in 1940 and used them for various training and reconnaissance missions until 1944. Some of the SNC-1s were also transferred to the US Army Air Forces as AT-9A Jeeps. The SNC-1 was a reliable and versatile aircraft that helped to prepare many pilots for combat operations.
