Shown here is a model of floating version of the most reliable aircraft of the early 20th century the Curtiss Jenny.

The Curtiss Jenny is a well-loved and dependable part of United States aviation history.

The Duck was the unsung workhorse of the military before and during World War II.

The Fokker tri-plane is among the best known of the World War I German fighters.

Used in Europe and the Pacific the A-20 Havoc was originally built for the French and British as a night fighter.

Re-designated the B-26 after World War II the Invader was widely used as a night intruder.

The dive-bomber was an American invention but the Germans seized the concept since it offered the ability to destroy point targets such as bridges in the enemy rear.

Similar to a B-24 from the 1940s a Privateer is just different enough. The twin tails were replaced with a high single fin and the fuselage extended seven feet.

As America gained air superiority the drab green of the pre-1944 B-24 bombers was replaced with an unpainted natural metal finish.

In 1941 the German Luftwaffe encountered a previously unknown Russian fighter with a long slender nose clearly powered by an inline or Vee type engine.
