Up close this looks like a Standard model J or SJ, and it also looks like it also was either destroyed or heavily damaged (a couple of photos back) in a storm. Stig

You know this is 1st Lieut. Paul A. Smith standing alongside this JN-4H Army Ambulance conversion, only because he is photographed in a much closer view shown on page 3 of this album, basically in the same position, but one step to the left with hand on the cable wire, just above the small red cross below the cockpit. The section behind the rear cockpit lifted off to permit insertion of a patient on a stretcher. These conversions were assigned to WWI training bases.

This is the wreckage of and Army Air Service Curtiss JN-4D Jenny, Air Service serial no. A.S. 3131, at Gerstner Field (11 miles southeast of Lake Charles, Louisiana). This aircraft is believed to be the first U.S. aircraft converted for use as an air ambulance. Maj. Nelson E. Driver (Medical Corps) and (then) Capt. William C. Ocker (Air Service) were responsible for the conversion. The aircraft's rear cockpit was modified for the transport of a patient in a semi-reclining position. The aircraft was also used to transport doctors. See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_C._Ocker
