    Description

    Up for bid is a vintage black and white photo of pioneer era Curtiss JN-4 plane.
    The photo was taken at an unknown Army facility.
    The
    Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny"
    was one of a series of "JN"
    biplanes
    built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company of
    Hammondsport, New York
    , later the
    Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company
    . Although the Curtiss JN series was originally produced as a training aircraft for the U.S. Army, the "Jenny" (the common nickname derived from "JN-4", with an open-topped four appearing as a
    Y
    ) continued after World War I as a civil aircraft, as it became the "backbone of American post
    war
    [civil] aviation.
    Photo measures approximately 6" x 3 1/2".
