Fotogalleri af en Fairchild PT-193, The Fairchild PT-19 (firmabetegnelse Fairchild M62) var et amerikansk Fairchild Aircraft monoplan primært træningsfly, der tjente med United States Army Air Forces, RAF og RCAF under Anden Verdenskrig. Det var en samtidig af Kaydet biplan træner og blev brugt af USAAF under Primary Flying Training som den indledende pre-solo fase træner til at introducere nye piloter til flyvning, før de videregav dem til den mere smidige Kaydet. Som med andre USAAF-trænere i perioden havde PT-19 flere betegnelser baseret på kraftværket installeret.

The Fairchild PT-19 was a primary trainer aircraft used by the United States Army Air Corps and its successor, the United States Army Air Forces, during World War II. It was designed by Fairchild Aircraft in 1938 as a low-wing monoplane with an open cockpit and a radial engine. The PT-19 was one of the most widely used trainers in the USAAF, along with the Boeing-Stearman PT-17 and the Ryan PT-22. The PT-19 had a simple and robust construction that made it easy to maintain and repair. It also had excellent handling and flight characteristics that helped novice pilots to master the basics of flying. The PT-19 was nicknamed the “Cradle of Heroes” because it trained thousands of pilots who later flew combat missions in various theaters of war. Some of the notable pilots who learned to fly on the PT-19 include Chuck Yeager, James Stewart, and George H.W. Bush.
