Curtis JN-4, Barnstorming Jenny at Burns, Oregon 1920

9336-A401 (00132)

"A "barnstorming" Curtis JN4-D (Jenny). It sports the Army Air Corp. stars on top of the wings, and is probably a ‘surplus’ airplane from World War 1. It is sitting in Sweek’s hay field, just east of Burns, Or. According to pg. 139 of Eugene Luckey’s "Oregon True Stories," "R. R. Trask and Lt. W. D. Cannon (the pilot) set out from Bend to Burns on August 13, 1920 but got off course, and were forced to land in Pete Peterson’s field near the Double "O" Ranch due to a shortage of fuel. The next day, they landed at Sweek’s field in Burns where they offered rides to the townspeople."
