1916 Standard J-1 Biplane
Add to SetSummary
The Standard J was one of the Army's basic trainer aircraft for military pilots. The J-1, with its fickle four-cylinder engine, was a less popular substitute for the Army's more widely used -- and more reliable -- Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny." Many surplus J-1s went on to second lives at flying schools and barnstorming air shows.
