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.
