Explanation:
Using knowledge gained from the Red Wing and the White Wing, Curtiss built the "June Bug", outfitted with additional improvements. This airplane responded so well in testing, that Curtiss determined to enter it in competition for the Scientific American trophy. He won the first leg in 1908.
He did an aircraft and named it the "Hudson Flyer". He won the prize money, nationwide recognition, and in the process, won the third leg of the Scientific American Competition and permanent possession of the coveted trophy.
