JN-4 Jenny History:
The JN-4 Jenny became one of the leading trainers in the world and remained in active service until 1927. 95% of all WWI airmen flew in them. At the Great War's end, vast numbers of surplus, uncrated Jennies were sold off or given away.
The development of the JN-4 Jenny aircraft started in 1913. Glenn Curtiss was the manufacturer. He started developing the Jenny when he visited the plant of Thomas Sopwith in 1913 in England. The JN-4 Jenny was made by the Curtis Company of Hammondsport in New York afterwards by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. He combined the best characteristics of the J model and the N models and started to produce the Jenny variants in 1915. He only made small numbers of the JN-1 and JN-2 model biplanes.
The JN-4 Jenny was the United States version. The other JN-4 version was with the Canadian military and they called it “Canuck”. It was made with a control stick rather than using the regular Deperdussin control. In trainings, the student was usually seated in front of the pilot or instructor. The aircraft’s controls and front engine were perfect for pilot trainings. It can reach a top speed of 75 miles per hour and a service ceiling of 6,500 feet.
The British military used the JN-4 Jenny for their main WWI trainer. It was produced in Canada by the Canadian Aeroplanes Ltd. The 6,813 JN-4s that were made were unarmed, but some had machine guns and bomb racks for highly developed training. None of the planes were seen in active service. After the First World War, over a hundred JN-4s were sold to the civilians. In 1923, Charles Lindbergh got his first aircraft for $500. Its slow speed and steadiness made it perfect for stunt flying displays. Until the 1930’s, the planes were still seen in the air. This model has measurements of: Span 18.9 Len 11.6 and Scale: 1: 28
