Hand-built Flying Circus Jenny plane model. Jennies conquered the nation after the close of WWI. Stunts, sightseeing by the half hour, postal, even circus flights taking off... A surplus commodity from the Great War. Out-of-work aviators flying out-of-work planes, itinerant showmen of the air. "Barnstormers" as they called themselves were an American phenomenon, performing from coast to coast. In pastures, at big-city air shows, in motion picture melodramas. Offering rides for five dollars in their Curtiss Jennys. Developing spectacular tricks. Walking and playing tennis on wings in flight. Transferring from plane to plane, from car to plane, from speeding train to plane. Bringing the thrills of flight to an excited nation. |
