Curtiss-Wright AT-9 Fledgling/Jeep
|
|
|
The
AT-9 Fledgling was an advanced trainer to transition students
that had completed basic flight training and were slated for twin-engined
combat aircraft. The AT-9 was not easy to fly or land making
it suitable for teaching students the more demanding flight characteristics
of more modern aircraft like the B-26 Marauder
and P-38 Lightning.
The prototype AT-9 first flew in 1941.
Officially named the Fledgling, the AT-9 was almost universally
known as the Jeep. Almost 800 had been built when
production ended in 1943. |
