The Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny'
One of the most famous planes of its era, the Curtiss Jenny was one of the first mass produced airplanes, and was flown by men and women all over the United States
It appeared in movies and even on postage stamps. It flew to small towns and attended county fairs Almost certainly it would have been the first time many Americans had ever seen an airplane
This is a reissue - with a lot of cleaning up of the tooling - of the classic Aurora kit, first issued in 1956, but not available since those initial runs
