AT-6C Harvard
It is not so rare, but the impressiveness of this machine is enormous. This American trainer aircraft used during WWII looks just great! Over 15.000 "Texans" or "Harvards" were produced in the service of the Royal Air Force (RAF) throughout history.
It was mainly used for the continued training of fighter pilots of the Western Allies. Probably just a few pilots have not encountered this training beauty on their way to fighter aircraft. From 1942 onwards, some duralumin components began to be replaced by wooden ones in an attempt to save on costs, which were rocketing as the war dragged on. This series was branded AT-6C and yes this piece was made in this series that can be seen at LEGENDY NEBES.
You can read its full and very well recorded history on the Točná Airport website where the AT-6C Harvard has its home airfield.
