Regarding the below illustrations, I had a mail from Bill Todd. Hey! There were never any Harvard's in any classification in the USAAF or USAF
inventories. Most all the AT-16's & IIB's were scrapped in place or sold out to private parties at war's end. I've been
told that airframes in sea transit were pushed off the freighters or carriers rather than deal with them as surplus.
The Indian AF turned back some 17 aircraft that were Lend Lease to USAAF in India, but almost all were scrapped. No
Harvard was ever brought into the USAAF inventory......why? References: Dan Hagedorn; "North American NA-16/AT-6/SNJ;"
Warbird Tech Pubs, pages 76 & 77 "North American's AT-6" Specialty Press (I wrote
the forward & contributed to the book) Bill Todd: "T-6 -A Systems View" Self Published and
out of print The illustrations you show of the aircraft as "43" with a late "star &
bar" on the tail section with a bogus tail code may have been some builders fantasy aircraft. Historically it's totally incorrect
and never was ever in any services flying aircraft. There's already too many completely fake T-6's attributed to NAA, such
as the T-6H and the T-6J. These aircraft were never built according to NAA, yet there's authors out there that absolutely
claim there were. "NAA Report O" quickly dispells these untruths perpetuated by these totally
misinformed souls. Also.....how's about spelling my last name correctly on your site/B-26 page?
It's TODD with two d's! Thanks
& Happy New Year, mate!
