The R3C-2 was a twin-float seaplane built for the Schneider Trophy race. In 1925, it took place at Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore, Maryland. With 374.274 km/h (232.57 mph), pilot James Doolittle won the trophy with a Curtiss R3C-2. The other two R3C-2, piloted by George Cuddihy and Ralph Oftsie, did not reach the finish line. The next day, Doolite reached with the same plane on a straight course 395.4 km/h (245.7 mph), a new world record. For the next Schneider Trophy, that took place at November 13, 1926, the R3C-2's engine was further improved, and pilot Christian Franck Schilt won the second place with 372.34 km/h (231.364 mph).
