During WWI Hammondsport was a twenty-four hour a day arsenal producing OX5 engines for the famous Curtiss "Jenny", trainer for virtually all U.S. and Canadian pilots. WWII saw renewed patriotic effort as the Mercury Aircraft Co. of Hammondsport produced tail assemblies for the P40 War Hawk (aka "Tomahawk", "Kitty Hawk", and "Flying tiger") manufactured by Curtiss-Wright, the successor company.
Glenn Hammond Curtiss was laid to rest in Hammondsport's Pleasant Valley Cemetery in 1930.
