Surefire way for a Jenny to be photographed was to have a prang. In this instance both left wings have been torn off but the aircraft otherwise looks undamaged. Photo taken at what was then Wright Field but now part of the Patterson (eastern) section of Wright-Patterson Air Base. The US Army received hundreds of Canadian-built Jennies such as this one.
