Description
...meet Jenny...flight was a mere 15 years old when this Jenny was born in May 1918.
...today, 107 years after the Wright brothers made their historic first flight...there is aluminum, titanium and jet engines.
...in Jenny's day there was cloth, gasoline, leather, sheet metal, wire and wood.
Details about this Jenny? Paul Allen's Curtiss Jenny JN-4D.

P.S. A zoom is good for the nuts and bolts...
And this 92 year old still flys...

Super picture Bill. Did you know - the first powered flight (unmanned) was made in Chard, Somerset? The small engine was powered by steam and the inventor was called Stringfellow.
