Various references give a total production of around 1,000 to 1,600.
Many different engines applied. This is the OX-5.

Air & Space Museum

"More than 10,000 of these V-8 engines were manufactured, most of them for use in Curtiss JN-4 Jenny trainers. After World War I, thousands of OX-5s and Jennies were sold to the public at a fraction of their original cost to the government. In addition, during the 1920s, the OX-5 engine powered airplanes developed for civil aircraft by Waco, Laird, Curtiss, Fairchild, Alexander, Travel Air, and many other firms."

Doesn't look like a Jenny so we'll just have to slog through every other US aircraft of the 1920's I guess

looks a bit like a York ..............

I get the impression it's a glider.

Noyade 19th Aug 2023 23:06

'Expanding' on Chevvron's idea, most likely the Gribovsky G-11.

Good enough, it's actually the G29 but the two seem to be all but identical.

Noyade 21st Aug 2023 09:03

Chevvron gave me the inspiration to look at gliders - control to him please. :ok:

chevvron 21st Aug 2023 09:53

Thank you and Open House. I never even knew the Soviets built gliders apart from recreational ones; I assmed it would be an American development!

As it's Open House:

I've seen that pic - but where? Looks a bit like the Convair Sea dart but I 'm sure the tail was different..............

chevvron 23rd Aug 2023 15:53

Looks like a canard; SAAB Gripen?

BEagle 23rd Aug 2023 16:10

Neither the Sea Dart nor the Gripen! Neither American nor Swedish.
