The North American T-6G was designed as a training aircraft in 1934,
but was used as a fighter, forward air controller, advanced trainer,
fighter-bomber and interceptor, and became one of the most important aircraft
of WWII. The T-6G variation was remanufactured from earlier airframes and had a
550 hp Pratt & Whitney engine. In 1941, at Tuskegee Army Airfield, Alabama,
the T-6G was used to train the famed African-American fighter squadron, the
“Tuskegee Airman”, which became one of the most respected fighter groups of the
war.
