The Curtiss JN 4 - "The Jenny"

The Curtiss JN-4, commonly known as the "Jenny," is an iconic #American #biplane that played a crucial role during #worldwarone as a training #aircraft. Produced by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company, the Jenny was beloved for its simple construction and forgiving flight characteristics, making it ideal for teaching novice pilots. Though not designed for combat, it was instrumental in preparing a generation of pilots for wartime flying. With its Curtiss OX-5 V8 engine, the Jenny had a top speed of around 75 miles per hour and was renowned for its maneuverability. After the #war, surplus Jennys found new life in the civilian sector, taking on roles in barnstorming, mail delivery, and even serving as the first aircraft for several early airlines. The Curtiss JN-4 remains an enduring symbol of American aviation history.
