    Curtiss JN(Jenny) Bi-Plane Model

    Width of wing - Approximately 31"
    Prop to Tail - Approximately 21"

    I bought this awhile back, but it is so big...I had to take it outside to get pictures. It's made of some sort of cloth or fabric and wood. Has a few spots of paint loss that I will address soon.(top of tail and one of the symbols on top of wing)

    THE JENNY
    Introduced in 1915, the Curtiss JN "Jenny" was a biplane built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company (later became the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company).

    It was originally intended as a trainer for the U S. Army during WWI. But after the war it became a very popular civilian plane. Thousands of surplus planes were sold at dirt cheap prices.

      Thanks to Scott & Newfld for the comments. And thanks to all for loving my bi-plane. Once the paint is touched up, it's going to hang with the other garage art bi-planes..

      Nice! I had the good fortune to get to ride in a “real” bi-plane a few years ago…what a memorable experience! No idea if it was a Jenny though.
