		Most everyone is familiar with the Curtiss Jenny, and for such a famous and influential airplane, I am surprised that more kits have not been issued of this aircraft in 1/72 scale.
		The Curtiss JN-4 was undoubtedly the most famous American airplane of the World War I era, and was used in large numbers by the U.S. Army Air Service, the U.S. Navy, and the British and Canadian military as well.
		JN-4’s were produced by both the Curtiss factory in New York and by the Canadians in Toronto, and although the designations were identical, the airplanes were not.

	Curtiss JN-4D Jenny
		Curtiss added the letter N to the designation because the modified Model J incorporated significant features of his Model N. The designation officially became the JN-2.
		The performance of the JN-2 was less than satisfactory, so Curtiss improved the design with the substitution of unequal span wings (like the original modified Model J), and ailerons on the upper wings only with a wheel to control them in place of the outmoded yoke system.
		At the same time, Curtiss began an extensive marketing campaign highlighting the many civilian applications of the Jenny, which included commuting, photo-mapping, policing, medical use, forest patrol, real estate work, and pleasure flying, proclaiming that "the JN is a good machine for the sportsman.

	CaliforniaStory3
		Curtiss was always looking for possible new exhibition flyers to assist him in selling his planes. At an event in June 1910 he took quite a liking to the young man by the name of Eugene Burton Ely. Impressed with his flying abilities, he signed Eugene Ely on as one of his exhibition men.
		Six months later, when Eugene was at Norfolk, Virginia, at the urging of Curtiss, he would make the first of two historically notable flights during his fabulous flying career.
		Curtiss was fixated on selling his aeroplanes to the military. In the winter of 1910, Curtiss established a private flying school on North Island, on land obtained through the cooperation of the Aero Club of San Diego. He soon invited the Army and Navy to send officers to receive free instruction as "aeroplane pilots."

	Airlines in Canada
		After the First World War, Canadian flyers returned home from Europe, and dozens of old Curtiss JN4 Canucks and other war surplus aircraft became available for peace-time pursuits.
		The old Curtiss tariner could not fly over 7000 feet, and so came very close to solid earth as it traversed the mountain passes.
		The flight took 16 hours and 20 minutes, including a number of stops to refuel along the way, and proved that aviation, even over the roughest of Canada's terrain, was a serious method of transportation.
