| All of these World War 1 Airplanes show some great pictures of one of the best known planes of World War 1, the Curtiss Jenny was an advancement in World War 1 biplane technology. The aviation art section has some great World War 1 photos and other images. Building and owning these model aircraft will give anyone a good picture of World War 1 and other biplane models. This hobby page includes balsa wood model airplanes, plastic model airplane kits, metal diecast models and scale models that are great to build and display. I don't consider these toy model airplanes because they are really built to show adults and kids the history of aviation. Models come in 1/18, 1/32, 1/72 scale desktop models. These model airplanes come in 1/20, 1/24, 1/32, 1/48 and 1/72 Scale Pre Built Diecast and Mahogany Display Models and Balsa Wood and Plastic Model Kits. |

A Special Customer Request.
Can You Help Me?
I
would love to find any information on this plane. My Grandfather, James
Siler, served in the Navy between 1922 to 1926 or 27. He could have taken this
picture at one of the Bases he was station at . He was station in the Panama
Canal and Off of the coast of China on a little island and most of his time
in San Diego any help would be great. Thanks again Randy Meador.
please let me know at this link.

| Research Notes Out-of-work aviators flying out-of-work airplanes after the Great War. These barnstormers, as they called themselves, were an American phenomenon - wandering from east to west, performing in pastures, big city air shows, and Hollywood dramas. model of the racer that Jimmy Doolittle flew to victory in the 1925 Schneider Cup A Curtiss Jenny rounds a pylon during the National Guard Speed Race at Miller Field, New York, in 1926. the Jenny used for training U.S. pilots during WWI and for mail service, barnstorming and flying circuses after the war. Barr was a bush pilot in the '30s and '40s, carrying passengers, mail, and freight to remote villages, mining camps, and solitary trappers' cabins. He flew every plane from the Jenny to the Supercub, made more forced landings than he could remember, and once rebuilt his wrecked plane himself in order to fly it out of the wilderness. The Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” first entered service during WWI as a primary trainer for the fledgling US Army Air Corps. After the war, surplus Jennys found fame with enterprising barnstormers who crisscrossed the countryside performing air shows and giving awe-struck passengers their first taste of flight. |
