| The Standard J-1 was produce as a WWI
primary pilot trainer; it was the leading competitor against
Curtiss' Jn4 "Jenny" for government orders. The J-1s
original engine, the Hall-Scott A-7a, proved not very reliable
as a result the Jenny received more government orders. The
Standard J-1 became very successful during the post war years as
a barnstorming airplane. With its engine replaced with a Curtiss
OX-5 or Hispano Suiza, the J-1 became quite a performer hauling
passengers for hire. The museum's J-1 is currently being
restored, off premises, to flying condition. |
