My father trained on the Curtiss JN-4D in Texas, earning his wings in August 1918. He was on a train East for deployment when the Armistice was declared. The trainer planes, it seems, were far less substantial then the one flown in the UK and France. Well no,the Curtiss Jenny was a fairly strong machine easy to bend , hard to break. Unlike British trainers it didn't catch fire easily. It was a basic trainer that did the job. Plus it had a good resale value postwar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Corbett Chronicles Posted 24 February , 2023 Share Posted 24 February , 2023 Yes, I perhaps misspoke in my original reply. My father really liked the Jenny. Most of his training was conducted with the old Standard, which he dubbed, "a flying barn door." He complained often about its unreliable engine. During his training on that machine (the Standard) he had sixteen forced landings and one bad crash. The Jenny was, as you said, was considered a very reliable machine at the time.
