The Curtiss Model 57 Teal was an American monoplane amphibian designed and built by the
Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. Two versions were built, a three-seater and four-seater but only one of each was built.[1]
The Teal was a monoplane amphibian with the pusher engine pod-mounted above the wing center section. It was designed for the private user, but due to the economic pressures of 1930s America only one three-seater, Teal A-1registeredN969V and a four-seater Teal B-1 registered N970V[2] were built.
