Okay... for all you Jenny experts out there...

Billy Parker (of Phillips 66 fame and familiar to many airshow fans of the 1950's and 1960's with his pusher aircraft) was involved in the Dewey Airplane Company in the immediate post-WWI period. Dewey is located just north of Bartlesville, OK (which is about 45 miles north of Tulsa.) Depending on what source you believe, DAC either built Jennys, rebuilt Jennys, or built from scratch some aircraft that have a remarkable similarity to Jennys. Apparently they ultimately built 12 aircraft before folding.

Below are some photos borrowed from the mentioned websites. They show Billy Parker, one of the test pilots, and some of the aircraft. Other photos show some scenes from the factory. Can anyone tell me whether or not these aircraft were just Jennys, or if there were some substantial differences between them and Jennys?

Thanks in advance!
