The Curtiss JN-4, a trainer biplane, is possibly North America's most famous World War I aircraft. From April 1917 when the USA entered World War I it was built in large numbers and used to train some 95% of all American and Canadian pilots. It achieved renewed fame from 1919 until the late 1920s, when thousands were flown in the barnstorming era, thrilling spectators at travelling aerial pageants and shows throughout the United States. The JN-4 Canadian built models, known as the Canuck, introduced the control stick system and was eventually adopted on the U.S. built JN-4D, along with other features as ailerons on the upper wings only, cut-outs on the lower wing to improve visibility, and six degrees down-thrust of the OX-5 engine.

The U.S. version was called "Jenny". It was a twin-seat (student in front of instructor) dual control biplane. Its tractor prop and maneuverability made it ideal for initial pilot training with a 90 horsepower (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 V8 engine giving a top speed of 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) and a service ceiling of 6,500 feet (2,000 m).

A seaplane version was built for the Navy which was so modified that it was essentially a different airframe. This was designated the N-9. The final version of the aircraft was the JN-6. In U.S. Army Air Service usage the JN-4s and JN-6s were configured to the JNS ("S" for "standardized") model.
