Red Jenny Plane Model

Hand-built Red Jenny plane model. Jennies conquered the nation after the close of WWI. Plane model details include spoke wire-wheels, detailed engine, laminated propeller, and leather accents...

This historic biplane was designed and built in the USA during and after WWI. More than 10,000 of these front-engine biplanes were built. The Jenny's fabric covered wings were braced by wood struts and rigged with a maze of turnbuckle wires. The original Jennys had no brakes and fast landing planes risked hitting fences or ending up in a ditch. Landing speed was about 45 mph. Our plane models are handmade of fabric covering a wood frame. The frame is a true miniature reproduction closely resembling the construction and appearance of the original big Jennys.
