MINI Curtiss Jenny Aircrart Model

This replica model has been constructed from Metal (tin). The use of this material, and the ‘aged’ appearance achieved by its paint work & metal construction, give this aircraft a sensational appearance that would look great on any desktop or bar, or adorning a study.

The Aircraft is 20cm from nose to tail, has a 23cm wingspan & measures 9cm from the ground to the top of the upper wing.

The Curtiss JN-4 is a series of aircraft built by the Curtiss company of Hammondsport, New York. Curtiss combined the best features of the model J & model N trainers, built for the Army & Navy, and began producting the JN or "Jenny" series of aircraft in 1915.
The Curtiss JN-4 biplane is possibly North Ameria's most famous World War 1 aircraft. It was widely used during Worlr War 1 to train pilots. It was a twin-seat (student in front of instructor) dual control biplane. Its "Pulley" front engine and maneuverability made it ideal for initial pilot training with a 90 hp (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 V8 engine giving a top speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a service ceiling of 6,500 ft (1980 m).

It's hard to look at a Jenny without smiling. A Jenny pilot and author Bob Hare once wrote, To those who teethed on a Jenny, there is something magical in recalling the feel of air pressure on her elevators or rudder; of the throbbing of her OX-5 engine pulling her out of a dirt field; of every rib, strut and wire vibrating in unison; of the fabric dancing to the same beat as she bored her way through the air."

There is a certain nostalgia associated with early aircraft. Rickety airframes, rotary engines and flying wires seem to capture a sense of wonder and imagination. They remind us of a simpler time when aviation was new and exciting -a time when an aerial battle looked more like a "flying circus" than a dogfight. This amazing model, of this fascinating & historically significant aircraft, captures this period in history in a very unique way
