Built by the Curtiss company for both military and civilian aircraft from 1913 to 1918, the OX-5 was used by several aircraft that saw action in the First World War, including the famous JN-4 "Jenny". The OX-5 produced 90 HP at 1400 RPM, and just over 12,600 were built. There is a group of OX-5 enthusiasts and aging barnstormers known as the OX-5 Aviation Pioneers. Their motto is "Aviation History by those Who Lived It". This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
