Delivered new to the United States Army Air Service (USAAS) in 1918, serialed as 41236 (in their pre-1922 sequential serial series). To the Hall Flying School of Warren, Ohio in 1929 and registered NC823H. Registration canceled in Aug 1935 and donated to the Henry Ford Museum located in Dearborn, MI. On loan to the Glenn Curtiss Museum.

1918-built Standard J-1 maintained airworthy.

1917-built Standard J-1 preserved wearing its original US Army Air Service markings.

The J-1 was a two-seat primary trainer and, although similar in appearance to the JN-4, was more difficult to fly and so never gained the popularity of the legendary Jenny. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.

This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF has had the fabric covering on the fuselage removed to illustrate the wire-braced wooden construction typical for aircraft of that time.

A real classic aircraft, built 1918 !
