Seaplane variant of the Curtiss Jenny. Note the beautifully crafted central float. Wind tunnel research was employed in the succesful redesign of the aircraft. The N-9 was apparently the first seaplane to perform a looping. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
