| Additional information |
The Curtiss JN-4 Canuck was Canada's own variant of the American JN-4 "Jenny," modified by Curtiss Aeroplanes and Motors Limited at their Toronto plant to meet British training requirements. It differed from the standard American model primarily in its ailerons and control configuration. Between 1917 and 1918, Canadian Aeroplanes Limited produced over 1,200 of them — the largest aircraft manufacturing output in Canadian history to that point — supplying the Royal Flying Corps with the bulk of its North American training fleet.
This issue is the fourth in the Royal Canadian Mint's Aviation series, which ran from 1990 to 1999 covering twenty aircraft of Canadian significance.
