Out-of-work aviators flying out-of-work airplanes after the Great War. These  barnstormers, as they called themselves, were an American phenomenon - wandering  from east to west, performing in pastures, big city air shows, and Hollywood dramas.

the Jenny used for training U.S. pilots during WWI and for mail service, barnstorming and flying circuses after the war.

Barr was a bush pilot in the '30s and '40s, carrying passengers, mail, and freight to remote villages, mining camps, and solitary trappers' cabins. He flew every plane from the Jenny to the Supercub, made more forced landings than he could remember, and once rebuilt his wrecked plane himself in order to fly it out of the wilderness.

The Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” first entered service during WWI as a primary trainer for the fledgling US Army Air Corps. After the war, surplus Jennys found fame with enterprising barnstormers who crisscrossed the countryside performing air shows and giving awe-struck passengers their first taste of flight.

Jenny and the Major

Aviation Art Print     The Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" was certainly no lady! She was basic and tough, sluggish and unforgiving, plentiful and cheap. Her pilot needed those same qualities, and Major Hawks had them. There was only one Major Hawks. Well, not really even one - he wasn't actually a major and his name wasn't "Hawks." But when small town folks saw him fly, then risked a five-dollar ride with him, he was pure golden eagle. Print measures 20"x 15" with included matte.
