Do you have any idea what plane this is?
It looks very much like a Jenny. Doesn't say what it is, does it?
If it does, how do I know this went with that?
There's a Jenny. I can tell. It has a rounded top to the radiator, but it's cut off square at the bottom. Now later on, the Canadians built what they called the Cannuck Jenny. The Curtiss Cannuck airplane had the radiator come down on the bottom like on the top to get a little more cooling space to because the engine would tend to overheat.
This is a Jenny too, or is it? It has the rounded top.
That looks like it.
Did Curtiss make the Jenny?
Oh yes, I made the wing drawings for it for Curtiss.
You really did! Wait till I tell my Son. He will be so thrilled.
I worked for Curtiss as a draftsman and then when they had something to fly, I went out and flew it for them.
