Curtiss combined the best features of the model J and model N trainers, built for the US Army and US Navy, and began producing the JN or "Jenny" series of aircraft in 1915.[3] Curtiss built only a limited number of the JN-1 and JN-2 biplanes. The design was commissioned by Glenn Curtiss from Englishman Benjamin Douglas Thomas, formerly of the Sopwith Aviation Company.[4] The JN-2 was an equal-span biplane with ailerons controlled by a shoulder yoke in the aft cockpit.[5] It was deficient in performance, particularly climbing, because of excessive weight. The improved JN-3 incorporated unequal spans with ailerons only on the upper wings, controlled by a wheel. In addition, a foot bar was added to control the rudder.[6] #aviationlovers #aviationdaily #aviationgeek Curtiss JN-3, the progenitor of the JN-4, deployed to Mexico, around 1916[7] The 1st Aero Squadron of the Aviation Section, US Signal Corps received eight JN-2s at San Diego in July 1915. The squadron was transferred to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in August to work with the Field Artillery School, during which one JN-2 crashed, resulting in a fatality.[8] The pilots of the squadron met with its commander, Capt. Benjamin Foulois, to advise that the JN-2 was unsafe because of low power, shoddy construction, lack of stability, and overly sensitive rudder. Foulois and his executive officer Capt. Thomas D. Milling disagreed, and flights continued until a second JN-2 crashed in early September, resulting in the grounding of the six remaining JN-2s until mid-October. When two new JN-3s were delivered, the grounded aircraft were then upgraded in accordance with the new design. In March 1916, these eight JN-3s were deployed to Mexico for aerial observation during the Pancho Villa Expedition of 1916–1917.[7] After the successful deployment of the JN-3, Curtiss produced a development, known as the JN-4, with orders from both the US Army and an order in December 1916 from the Royal Flying Corps for a training aircraft to be based in Canada.[N 1] The Canadian version, the JN-4 (Canadian), also known as the "Canuck", had some differences from the American version, including a lighter airframe, ailerons on both wings, a bigger and more rounded rudder, and differently shaped wings, stabilizer, and elevators.[9] As many as 12 JN-4 aircraft were fitted with an aftermarket Sikorsky wing by the then fledgling company in the late 1920s.[10] Operational history Curtiss JN-4Ds at Camp Taliaferro, Texas, circa 1918 The Curtiss JN-4 is possibly North America's most famous World War I aircraft. It was widely used during World War I to train beginning pilots, with an estimated 95% of all trainees having flown a JN-4.[11] The US version was called "Jenny", a derivation from its official designation. It was a twin-seat (student in front of instructor) dual-control biplane. Its tractor propeller and maneuverability made it ideal for initial pilot training with a 90 hp (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 V8 engine giving a top speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a service ceiling of 6,500 ft (2,000 m).[6][12] The British used the JN-4 (Canadian), along with the Avro 504, for their primary World War I trainer using the Canadian Aeroplanes Ltd. indigenous variant.[13] Many Royal Flying Corps pilots earned their wings on the JN-4, both in Ontario and later in winter facilities at Camp Taliaferro, Texas.[14] Converted JN-4 ambulance, operated by the Camp Taliaferro medical teams, around 1918 Although ostensibly a training aircraft, the Jenny was extensively modified while in service to undertake additional roles. Due to its robust but easily adapted structure able to be modified with ski undercarriage, the Canadian Jenny was flown year-round, even in inclement weather.[15] The removable turtle-deck behind the cockpits allowed for conversion to stretcher or additional supplies and equipment storage, with the modified JN-4s becoming the first aerial ambulances, carrying out this role both during wartime and in later years.[16] Most of the 6,813 Jennys built were unarmed, although some had machine guns and bomb racks for advanced training. With deployment limited to North American bases, none saw combat service in World War I. by Midwest Documentaries

The Jenny is an iconic aircraft and a marvelous example of early American aviation. Built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company in New York, the aircraft was first used by the U.S. Army Signal Corps as an observation aircraft and for training military pilots. Subsequently used for flying airmail and by barnstorming pilots in the 1920s, the Jenny has earned its place in American aviation history. Construction started on our Jenny in February 2017 and has progressed to the status you see in the attached photos. The covering and painting process will begin in 2020. The Jenny will be the focal point of the Poplar Grove Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum, and will be flown at Poplar Grove and local fly-in events to promote the museum and the airport. The museum is funding the project through donations and the work is being done by EAA Chapter 1414 volunteers. It truly is a work of art that must be seen to be appreciated! The Jenny Team typically works on the aircraft on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday of each week from 10am until 3pm. Stop by and have a look before this outstanding craftsmanship is covered in fabric! by Midwest Documentaries

Built from scratch, a true-to-life, museum quality, fully operational Jenny – America’s first mass-produced ‘flying machine’! This project is a collaboration between the Museum’s restoration team and EAA Chapter 1414 members. Our goal with this project is to represent historical aviation for children and adults for years to come. The Jenny, designed by Glenn Curtiss for the American World War I effort and built in various locations around the United States, was the first mass-produced plane in American history. Following WWI, the ‘Jenny’ was used extensively for barnstorming and served as the mainstay of the fledgling US Air Mail service. It is the aircraft Charles Lindbergh originally used as he flew mail over the vast stretches of Illinois farmland from Chicago to St. Louis. The project officially began in the fall of 2016, gathering prints, making jigs and fixtures, and laying out the manufacturing schedule. As of June 2017, the team led by EAA and PGAEA member Don Perry has manufactured many of the parts needed for the fuselage, the wings, the emapenauge, gear and tail. Every school field trip visiting the museum, along with the many daily visitors, get a chance to visit the Restoration Hangar and view the progress. The Jenny Project team members have been wonderful at taking the time to explain the process and involve the students and visitors in questions and answers. This allows the whole process to be part of our educational efforts, not just the finished product. by Midwest Documentaries
