Left to right: Curtiss JN-4D Jenny (N1104). The Jenny series was the most widely produced United States aircraft from 1917 through the 1920s. While it served as a primary trainer for the US Air Service during World War One, the Jenny became even more popular in the 1920s for barnstorming and carrying airmail. The JN-4D model, on display, was the definitive version of the Curtiss JN series. Introduced in 1917, shortly after the United States entered World War One, it was one of several improvements Curtiss made to his aircraft design. Notably, the JN-4D replaced the earlier control wheel with a control stick to operate the ailerons, which were now located only on the upper wings. Around 35 Curtis Jennys survive today from a total of 6,813 built.

Brunner-Winkle Bird BK (NC731Y). Built in 1929 in Brooklyn by the Bird Aircraft Corporation (formerly Brunner-Winkle), the CK series was the company's third-generation biplane, originally designed around the Curtiss OX-5 engine. It was designed for barnstorming and passenger rides. Accommodating a pilot and up to three passengers via a fold-out jumpseat, it stood out with an upper wing twice the size of the lower and impressive efficiency—carrying equal or greater loads than competitors on half the horsepower of its predecessors.

Waco 10 GXE (N47248) from 1927, The Waco GXE was a 1928 variant of the Waco 10, an open-cockpit, three-seat biplane, distinguished by its Curtiss OX-5 engine. Waco's designation system changed at the time, and the GXE was the new designation for the Model 10. In Waco's designation system, The "G" stands for a straight wing (as opposed to a taperwing), the "X" for the specific engine type, and the "E" for its designation as the 10th model from the company.
