| The
Curtiss JN-4 two-seat biplane which soon acquired the nickname "Jenny",
was used widely during the interwar years. It was one of the most significant
American aircraft of its time. From April 1917, when the United States
entered World War I, it was built in large numbers and used to train some
95% of all American and Canadian pilots. It achieved renewed fame from
1919 until the late 1920s, when thousands were flown in the barnstorming
era, thrilling spectators with exhibitions of wing walking, aerial trapeze
work, and low-level aerobatics at traveling aerial pageants and shows throughout
the United States. The "Jenny" was also featured in many Hollywood films
of the 1920s and early 1930s. A considerable number of them survive in
museums and several in private ownership are maintained in flying condition
in the U. S. |
