About This Item
(Osceola: Speciality Press, 1983). 8vo; original mustard rexine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 144; table; photographs throughout. Dustwrapper slightly creased; ownership inscription on front pastedown obliterated with black felt pen; a little light foxing to endpapers and prelims. Good to very good condition. 'Harvard, Texan, J-Bird, T-6, whatever name you gave the aircraft, it was the right plane, in the right place, at the right time. One of the most important aircraft to emerge from the 1930's, it proved to be an excellent training machine for fledgling pilots throughout the world.
It was safe, reliable, challenging and a perfect machine for transition from elementary trainers to the front-line P-40's, P-51's & similar "hot ships" of the period. For almost twenty years it taught American military pilots to fly & it still serves today with the air forces of several nations. PILOT MAKER by Jeff Ethell & Walt Ohlrich documents for the first time, the fascinating story of this important aircraft.' ~ .
