Historical Note
The Stearman Model 75, known to the U.S. Army Air Forces as the PT-13 and PT-17 and to the U.S. Navy as the N2S, became America's most iconic primary trainer during World War II. Designed by Lloyd Stearman and produced by Boeing-Stearman from 1934 through 1945, over 10,600 aircraft were manufactured, training the vast majority of U.S. military pilots during the war years. The rugged biplane design featured welded steel tube fuselage construction, fabric-covered wings, and the reliable Continental R-670 (PT-13) or Lycoming R-680 (PT-17) radial engines. Its forgiving flight characteristics, robust construction, and excellent visibility made it the ideal platform for teaching basic flying skills. After the war, thousands of surplus Stearmans entered civilian service as crop dusters, aerobatic performers, and sport aircraft, with hundreds still flying today as beloved warbirds and vintage trainers.
