The Martin T, also built as the TT, was a training biplane produced in the United States in 1913 for military use. It was a conventional three-bay biplane with unstaggered wings of equal span, with pilot and instructor in tandem open cockpits with dual controls and a fixed taildragger undercarriage that could be exchanged for a single pontoon and wingtip floats. Early examples went to the Army without engines, and later TT aircraft had Curtiss, Hall-Scott or Sturtevant engines. In 1915 a Model TT piloted by Oscar Brindley won the Curtiss Marine Trophy with a 444 mile flight, and the first Martin T acquired by the Army, Signal Corps number 31, became the first American military aircraft fired on by a hostile force in April 1915. The Model T was the basis of the Martin S seaplane.
