Photo gallery of a Fairchild PT-193, The Fairchild PT-19 (company designation Fairchild M62) was an American Fairchild Aircraft monoplane primary trainer aircraft that served with the United States Army Air Forces, RAF and RCAF during World War II. It was a contemporary of the Kaydet biplane trainer and was used by the USAAF during Primary Flying Training as the introductory pre-solo phase trainer for introducing new pilots to flying before passing them on to the more agile Kaydet. As with other USAAF trainers of the period, the PT-19 had multiple designations based on the powerplant installed.

Lisätietoja:

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.
