Two Curtiss Jenny aircraft were ordered in January 1916 for Central Flying School at Point Cook.
The order was cancelled on 17th June 1916 in favour of purchasing Maurice Farman Longhorns

Other Jenny's are known to have served in 3 Sqn and possibly other AFC units too - but the details are sketchy.
