The Fairchild PT-19 was the first stop on a cadet’s way to becoming a combat pilot. First flown in 1939, it was a simple and forgiving aircraft. (contributed)

The Vultee BT-13 was an intermediate trainer flown by most American pilots during World War II. It was the second phase of the three-phase training program for pilots. After primary training in PT-13, PT-17 or PT-19 trainers, the student pilot moved to the more complex BT-13 to continue his flying education. (contributed)
