served by Augustus Post for the Aero Club of America, Sidney Viet of the F.A.I., Col. Archie Miller for the Army, Prof. C. L. Poore of Columbia University, and a group of military officers. What made the altitude flights all the more remarkable was the fact that the K-12 engine was normally aspirated whereas all other altitude records of that time were made with supercharged engines.

In addition to this Rohlfs had also been assisting with several other Curtiss-Postwar programs, including the MF flying boat, the Oriole, the trimotored Eagle 8 passenger transport, the first U. S. Navy fighter plane the HA, and the Seagull flying boat. On July 10, 1919, he made a flight from Buffalo to New York City in an Oriole carrying 200 copies of the NC trans-Atlantic flight history to be presented at a dinner given in New York by Glenn Curtiss for the NC pilots and crews. In late August Rohlfs flew in the New York-Toronto race, winning third place. On September 27th he made a series of public demonstration flights with the new Curtiss Eagle try-motored 8-passenger biplane, carrying many well known aviation dignitaries.

In April, 1920, Rohlfs established a speed record of 138 mph at the Naval Air Station, Rockaway Beach, Long Island, flying a Curtiss Wasp triplane on floats, with a Curtiss C-12 engine. That year the Curtiss Company designed and built a special high-speed racing plane and made formal entry in the Gordon Bennett Trophy Race to be held in France that fall. This plane, built for Mr. S. E. J. Cox of Houston, Texas, was christened the "Texas Wild Cat". [[strikethrough]] TEXAS WILD CAT [[/strikethrough]] Rohlfs was selected as its pilot.

The plane was taken to France by Rohlfs and crew, but they were unable to bring the Trophy back to America due to insufficient test and development work prior to the competition.

In January, 1921, Rohlfs left the Curtiss Company to join the Aeromarine Airways as Operations Manager.
