More info:

The Stearman PT-13D Kaydet was a biplane trainer aircraft used by the United States Army Air Forces and the United States Navy during World War II. It was designed by Lloyd Stearman and produced by the Stearman Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Boeing. The PT-13D was a variant of the PT-13 model, which had a Lycoming R-680-17 engine with 220 horsepower. The PT-13D had a metal propeller and a revised cowling. The PT-13D could accommodate two crew members, a student and an instructor, in open cockpits. The aircraft had a wingspan of 32 feet 2 inches, a length of 24 feet 10 inches, and a height of 9 feet 2 inches.
The PT-13D had a maximum speed of 124 miles per hour, a cruising speed of 96 miles per hour, and a range of 505 miles. The PT-13D had no armament, but it could carry two 100-pound bombs for training purposes. The PT-13D was one of the most widely used trainers in the US military, with over 8,000 units built. The PT-13D was also exported to several countries, including Canada, Brazil, China, and the Philippines. The PT-13D was known for its reliability, maneuverability, and ease of maintenance. The PT-13D was nicknamed the “Kaydet” by the Navy, and the “Yellow Peril” by the Army Air Forces because of its bright yellow color scheme.
