The Curtiss JN-4 biplane is possibly North America's most famous World War I airplane. It was widely used during World War I to train beginning pilots, and was known in Canada as the "Canuck", and in the US as the "Jenny".

The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company developed the JN-4 from its 1914 model J that flew reconnaissance against Mexican revolutionaries under Pancho Villa. After Model J came the JN-2, JN-3 and JN-4. It was a twin-seat (student in front of instructor) dual control biplane developed with the best features of the Curtiss "J" and "N" models. Its "Pulley" front engine and maneuverability made it ideal for initial pilot training with a 90 hp (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 inline engine giving a top speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a service ceiling of 6500 ft (1980 m).
