Seaplane trainer derived from the Curtiss JN-4. To carry the ponderous float gear the wing was enlarged by a 10 ft (3.05 m) panel in the center section of the upper wing and a 5 ft (1.52 m) panel near the fuselage in each section of the lower wing. Of the 560 aircraft produced in 1916-1917, only the first 100 were constructed at the Curtiss plants at Garden City, New York and Buffalo, New York, USA. The balance was produced by Burgess of Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA. After WW I the US Navy assembled 50 aircraft from spare parts at Pensacola Naval Air Station, Florida, USA. The pictured aircraft is the sole surviving N-9H and has been restored by the Naval Air Engineering Laboratory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in 1966. |
