HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The PT Military Trainer was a biplane built in the United States during the 1930s as a military trainer aircraft. It served as the basic trainer for the USAAF and USN throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. They became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.
