Stearman Stars and Stripes Unisex Pullover Hoodie
The Army operated the aircraft under several designations based largely on the engine installed. The PT-13 used a Lycoming R-680, the PT-17 used a Continental R-670, and the less numerous PT-18 used a Jacobs R-755. The U.S. Navy operated its versions as the NS and N2S, while the Royal Canadian Air Force also used the Kaydet for primary training. Although relatively forgiving in flight, its conventional tailwheel undercarriage demanded careful handling during takeoff and landing, helping students develop essential flying skills before progressing to more advanced trainers.
Kaydets were used to teach basic aircraft control, formation flying, navigation, aerobatics, spins, and takeoff and landing procedures. They trained pilots for the U.S. Army Air Forces, U.S. Navy, and several Allied nations, including many of the airmen who later flew combat missions across every major theatre of the war. Members of the Tuskegee Airmen also completed primary flight training in Stearmans.
Boeing produced 8,584 complete aircraft between 1936 and 1944, along with enough spare parts to assemble approximately 2,000 additional aircraft. After the war, thousands were sold into civilian use and converted into crop dusters, sports aircraft, and airshow performers. Many remain airworthy today, making the Stearman one of the most recognisable and enduring training aircraft of its era.
