Here are some screenshots of a work-in-progress repaint for the Curtiss JN-4. It depicts an earlier JN-3 assigned to the US Army's 1st Aero Squadron, circa 1916, flown by then Lieutenant (later General) Benjamin Foulois during the Mexican Expedition (also known as the Punitive Expedition), in the hunt for Pancho Villa, led by General Pershing. Using Curtiss JN-3's and Curtiss Type R's, this became the United State's first use of aircraft in combat. (My great grandad, 2nd Lt. William Darwitz, the son of a German emigrant, was part of the ground forces during the Mexican Expedition, and later followed General Pershing to France with the AEF, where he served with the 141st Infantry, 36th Division in the final months of WWI/Meuse-Argonne offensive.)

I can't be absolutely sure of the colors, but I've based it on the paintings by renowned artist Russell Smith. In all likelihood, the aircraft at this early stage probably had clear-doped linen and khaki/cream-colored cowls, but I like the yellow varnished look better.







 
John,

It turned out fantastic!

Like I mentioned before, General Foulois was someone I knew when I was younger. He was a friend of my father and an occasional dinner guest. When we were stationed at Andrews AFB in the early 60s, our parents would drop us off at the Officer's Club Pool. Later in the day when it was time to get picked up, we would wait out in front of the Club. I seem to remember he lived near the Club, and if he saw us out there, he would come over, hang out and tell us stories about his flying adventures. The story as kids we just didn't quite believe was the one, he told us about learning to fly from the Wright Brothers.

General Foulois passed away just before we left Andrews. I will never forget one of the last times we went to eat at the Officers Club. They had renamed it the General Foulois Room and to the right of the entry doors was a big memorabilia case. In that case was a picture of him standing with Wilbur and Orville Wright. I'll never forget that moment, thinking holy cow he really did learn to fly from those guys.

To this day, General Foulois was easily the most unforgettable person I've ever met.

These screenshots capture the feeling of real flight. Excellent.
