The Curtiss JN series, more popularly known as the "Jenny" series, began in 1914 when the Curtiss J and N series merged. That same year the US Army began ordering the Jennies for use as observation planes and trainers. Britain followed suit, which made the Jenny the most widely produced plane up to that time. After the war the Jenny found a second life in the private sector. From 1920 to 1926 the Jennies became famous for their popularity with barnstormers and wing walkers.
