The Curtiss JN Jenny was a series of bi-planes built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company of Hammondsport, New York beginning in 1915. Although the Curtiss JN series was originally produced as a training aircraft for the US Army, The Jenny (the common nickname derived from the JN) continued after World War I as a civil aircraft, and it became the backbone of the American post war civil aviation. Pilots found the Jenny's stability and slow speed made it ideal for stunt flying and aerobatic displays in the barnstorming era. Many Jenny's have been restored and are on display in Air Museums all across the nation.
