North-American Harvard |
The Harvard was an advanced trainer used by the RCAF during WW2.This aircraft saw many variations in its name and designation.The Canadian Harvard is one of the best known of these and trained many pilots to fly fighter aircrraft in combat. The USAAF designation was the AT- Texan and the US Navy was the SNJ.Although Canada and the US used the Harvard as a trainer only,there were some foreign air forces that employed it as a frontline fighter equipped with wing mounted machine guns.Truly a testament to the great design of this aircraft.Model author unknown.Paintjob by Reg Longman and Panel by Johan Lemmer |
