NORTH AMERICAN
T-6 TEXAN
![]()
The North American T-6 Texan two-place advanced trainer was
the classroom for most of the Allied pilots who flew in WW2.
Designated the SNJ by the Navy and the Harvard by the RAF,
the AT-6 (advanced trainer) was designed as a transition trainer
between basic trainers and first-line tactical aircraft. It was
redesignated T-6 in 1948.
In all, the T-6 trained several hundred thousand pilots in 34
different countries over a period of 25 years. A total of 15,495
examples were built.
The Texan was an evolution of the company's BC-1 basic
combat trainer, first produced for the USAAF with fixed landing
gear in 1937. North American Aviation designed the NA-49
prototype as a low-cost trainer with all the characteristics of a
high-speed fighter.
Although not as fast as a fighter, it was easy to maintain and
repair, had more maneuverability and was easier to handle.
A pilot's airplane, it was designed to give the best possible
training in all types of aerial warfare, from ground strafing to
bombardment and aerial dogfighting.We offer three CDs on this very versatile and famous aircraft.
