The Curtiss JN-4 is possible North America's most famous World War I aircraft. It was a twin-seat, student in front of instructor, dual-control biplane. Its tractor propeller and maneuverability made it ideal for initial pilot training. It was widely used during World War I to train begining pilots, with an estimated 95% of all trainees having flown a JN-4. Friends of Jenny's mission was to build a Jenny-but to build it to fly. They wanted to do it in a short ammount of time and not spend anywhere from 7 to 20 years building it and it not fly, so 5,720 hours later, over the course of 14 months, three teams of individuals built the Jenny.
