Jenny: The Airplane That Taught America to Fly

Jenny: The Airplane That Taught America to Fly by David Weitzman (Model T: How Henry Ford Built a Legend) joins his series of historical picture books. Told from the perspective of a former pilot sharing stories with her grandchildren, the volume chronicles the Curtiss JN4-D (nicknamed ""the Model T of airplanes"" for its mass production) from manufacture to flight. B&w drawings provide an up-close perspective on the plane's construction during WWI, from its sturdy wood-and-fabric wings to its lightweight engine; endpapers contain labeled diagrams.
