Title: Curtiss JN4 “Jenny”

First flown in 1915, the Curtiss JN4 “Jenny” was the USA’s most famous aircraft of WW1. It was originally developed as a Trainer with nearly 95% of all US WW1 pilots having flown the type. What cemented its fame is that in the post-war period it became the backbone of US civil aviation. Over 6,800 examples were built, and thousands were sold cheaply to private owners in the immediate post-war period and these became central to the “barnstorming” period that helped awaken the USA to civil aviation through much of the 1920’s.

This title contains early flight and rigging manuals for the JN4, and a manual on the engine most commonly fitted to the type. The files have been copied from the original manuals and retains any colour pages.
