Titles: North American T-6 Texan No’s 1 to 6

The North American T-6 Texan two-place advanced trainer was the classroom for most of the Allied pilots who flew in WW2. Designated the SNJ by the Navy and the Harvard by the RAF, the AT-6 (advanced trainer) was designed as a transition trainer between basic trainers and first-line tactical aircraft. It was redesignated T-6 in 1948.

In all, the T-6 trained several hundred thousand pilots in 34 different countries over a period of 25 years. A total of 15,495 examples were built. The Texan was an evolution of the company’s BC-1 basic combat trainer, first produced for the USAAF with fixed landing gear in 1937. North American Aviation designed the NA-49 prototype as a low-cost trainer with all the characteristics of a high-speed fighter. Although not as fast as a fighter, it was easy to maintain and repair, had more maneuverability and was easier to handle. A pilot’s airplane, it was designed to give the best possible training in all types of aerial warfare, from ground strafing to bombardment and aerial dogfighting.

We offer six titles covering most military variants of the T-6 series, including manuals from foreign operators and a maintenance manual and parts manual. Each title costs US$9.95. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages, unless otherwise stated.
