This JN-4 was built in 1918 and was one of 680 machines supplied to the U.S. Air Service by Canadian Aeroplanes Limited. After the First World War, it entered civilian service. The Museum purchased the aircraft in 1962 and restored the aircraft to represent a typical JN-4 Canuck used in the World War 1.
