Another plane I really enjoyed was the Standard J-1 from WW1. I wouldn't have thought colors and patterns were used like this in war time, even just for a training model, but still very cool to see!

A low shot of the Standard J-1 Plane from WW1 Standard J-1 Plane from WW1 exhibit description from the National Air Force Museum. It reads " The US Air Service used the a standard J-2 during World War 1 for primary flight instruction. Although 1,601 J-1's were produced by four manufacturers (Standard, Dayron-Wright, Fisher Body, and Wright-Martin), the J-1 never achieved the popularity of the more numerous JN-4 'Jenny'. The fabric covering fuselage has been removed to illustrate the wire-braced wooden construction typical for the aircraft of the time. It also reveals the dual controls and relatively simple cockpit instrumentation. The black tank in front of the forward cockpit is the fuel tank."
