The Curtiss JN-4 was perhaps the most famous of all the American aircraft of the World War I era. The JN-4D was the most numerous version of the over 6,000 JN-4s built. Following the war, the plane became the workhorse of many "barnstormers" across the country.

The first "Jenny" arrived at Chanute Field in July 1917. The aircraft was used in flight training and aviation maintenance courses during World War I.

This replica was built by museum volunteers Anton Bilek and Richard Clark. It is painted to closely resemble the JN-4Ds assigned to Chanute Field.
