The curved things are skids to prevent the wingtips from hitting the ground on a wonky landing. -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po!

... What is all the stuff hanging under the airplane? The first pic identifies the aircraft as a Curtiss JN-6HB. IOW it was a single-control bomber trainer. What sort of racks would such a machine need? gdp

IOW it was a single-control bomber trainer. What sort of racks would such a machine need? Simple racks for a bomb about the size of a mortar, or a little larger. Alternatively, when on a strictly training mission, a marker round, that would be easy to see how your hits were landing.
