Here are a few of the aircraft of the CAF
Vultee BT-13A Valiant Basic Trainer
All pilots, whether they were destined
for fighters or bombers, had to go through the pilot
training process. One of the most important aircraft
for developing new pilot skills was the BT-13 Valiant,
sometimes known as the "Vibrator" ~ not
for what it did to you, but to the windows of buildings
when it flew by.
Harvard Mk IV
The most important advanced pilot
trainer of World War II was the AT-6 Texan. The
aircraft was so good and so popular, that it was
used by many different service branches and many
different countries. Our aircraft was one of those
licensed by Canadian Car and Foundry in Canada where
it was known as the "Harvard"
