The North American Aviation T-6 Texan is an American single-engined
advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Army Air
Forces (USAAF), United States Navy, Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force
and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into
the 1970s. Designed by North American Aviation, the T-6 is known by a variety
of designations depending on the model and operating air force. The United
States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and USAAF designated it as the AT-6, the United
States Navy the SNJ, and British Commonwealth air forces the Harvard, the name
by which it is best known outside the US. Starting in 1948, the new United
States Air Force (USAF) designated it the T-6, with the USN following in 1962.
It remains a popular warbird used for air show demonstrations and static
displays. It has also been used many times to simulate various historical
aircraft, including the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero. A total of 15,495 T-6s of
all variants were built.
