	The Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny”
		Douglas Thomas would join the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation and design the Curtiss J and N models, and Royal Navy pilot John Porte would be one of the pilots who crossed the Atlantic in a Curtiss seaplane.
		Curtiss built fewer than 200 Model J and Model N trainers for the Army and Navy before he decided in 1915 to launch the JN series.
		Curtiss combined the best qualities of both planes in the JN, which soon acquired the nickname "Jenny." After evaluation by the Army and Navy, a small number were ordered in 1915.

	Curtiss JN4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The JN series of aircraft were built by the Curtiss company of Hammondsport, New York, later the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company.
		Curtiss combined the best features of the model J and model N trainers, built for the Army and Navy, and began producting the JN or "Jenny" series of aircraft in 1915.

		The achievements of Curtiss spanned several decades and took the airplane from its wood, fabric and wire beginnings to the forerunners of modern transport aircraft.
		Curtiss made his first flight on his 30th birthday -- May 21, 1908 -- in White Wing, a design of the Aerial Experiment Association, a group led by Alexander Graham Bell.
		Curtiss made his last flight as a pilot in May 1930, when he flew a Curtiss Condor over the AlbanyNew York route.

		In this country, the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Co. of Buffalo, N.Y., was by far the largest manufacturer and was also a noted practitioner of the art of adapting existing components to new models.
		For flying boat training, the Navy had been using the two-seat 90 hp Curtiss Model F pusher, which was a 1913 design ripe for replacement by 1918.
		All, whether powered with Curtiss or Hisso engines, were widely and fondly called "Jenny." The name evolved naturally from the letters JN, and was certainly one of the most appropriate feminine names ever bestowed on a single airplane model.

	Information about Canada FDC: 35¢ Curtiss JN-4 "Canuck" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The development of air doctrine between the two wars and rapid advances in technology helped change the views of leading military authorities who had held fast to their beliefs that air operations should be limited to reconnaissance, observation for adjustment of ground artillery fire, and limited attacks on other aircraft.
		One result of those technological advances, the Curtiss biplane -- adapted by Canadian manufacturers as the JN-4 -- became the major airplane type contributing to the spread of aviation between the wars.
		The Canuck, evolving from the Curtiss JN-3 Jenny, was called a JN-4 despite the fact that a JN-4 had previously been built by the United States in 1916.

		The IMB secured land for air fields in southern Ontario, arranged for construction of barracks and hangars, and established Canadian Aeroplanes Ltd.
		Their basic flight trainer was the Curtiss JN-4 (Can), an American design modified by Canadian Aeroplanes Ltd. to meet military training needs.
		It took over the Toronto quarters of an earlier firm, Curtiss Aeroplanes and Motors Co. An American design, the Curtiss JN-4, had been selected as the standard instructional machine, but it needed modifications including a stick control rather than a wheel (thus conforming to standard overseas practices) and a strengthened tail for hard landings.

		Glenn H. Curtiss, an American, was another of the pioneer aviators who astonished multi-tudes by their exhibitions of daring and skill in Europe and in America.
		Curtiss also built a hydro-airplane, or hydroplane, as it is sometimes called, though other men had been working on the same idea.
		Curtiss Aeroplane and Motors Corporation was the largest American aeronautical construction firm at the onset of World War I. Many school biplanes of the "J.N." type were supplied to the belligerent powers, and did remarkably well as training aircraft.

		The aircraft was developed from the Curtiss Model J, designed by B. Douglas Thomas, and the Curtiss Model N, and two earlier versions of the aircraft were produced, the JN-2 and JN-3, before the first JN-4 flew in 1916.
		After World War I, many of the Curtiss OX-5 powered Jennys were sold, very cheaply, on the civilian market, sometimes, for just a few hundred dollars, and some of these were still packed in their factory shipping crates.

		In May 1918 the Curtiss JN-4 was one of only a few American military aircraft in full production.
		When the war was over, the planes went on sale, and many a pilot who had trained in Jennies coughed up $300 or so for a surplus job and took up barnstorming, flying folks for 10 or 15 minutes, charging by the pound for the ride.
