Diecast Aircraft Information

MetalWings Diecast Aircraft Reference by Dauntless Aviation

This aircraft is known by many names depending on what country used them and/or the
variant of the same airframe. They were AT-6, Harvards, Yale, Texan, SNJ, Wirraway
and a few others. These planes were fully aerobatic and could present the student pilot
with some situations where he learned to do things correctly or else. These planes were
the stepping stones to the more advanced Spitfires and Mustangs of this era. From the
1930s to the 1960s the Harvard was not limited to just the training role. It was also used
as a combat aircraft and became part of almost every major power inventory. Like the
Huey helicopter the Harvard had its own distinctive sound caused by the propeller tips
going supersonic.
