\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The Fairchild PT-19<\/strong> (with 12 variants) is a two seat trainer that was used by the USAAC\/USAAF and fifteen other countries. \u00a0This fixed landing gear tail-dragger, with an open cockpit, uses an inline engine which makes for a narrow front, allowing for good visibility. Nick-named “The Cradle of Heroes” for its significant role in preparing fledgling pilots for combat, the number of surviving, airworthy, PT-19’s is estimated to be less than 100.<\/h3>\n
