The Curtiss Falcon was a family of military biplanes that Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company built in the 1920s. Most served the United States Army Air Corps as the O-1 and O-11 observation aircraft or as the A-3 Falcon attack aircraft, while Navy variants began as F8C Falcon fighter-bombers and the Marine Corps flew the F8C-4 Helldiver as its first dive bomber. The XO-1 prototype won the 1925 Army trials after being re-engined, and production O-1s used the 435 hp Curtiss V-1150 engine; the wings were wood and the fuselage aluminium tube. The type was introduced in 1925, flew first-line in the United States to 1934, and fought for Sao Paulo in Brazil in 1932.
