NORTH AMERICAN'S T-6
by Dan Hagedorn
NORTH AMERICAN'S T-6: A Definitive History of the World's Most Famous Trainer is the book the world's extensive T-6 community has been waiting years to have. Author Dan Hagedorn, curator for the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, combines his professional documentation skills with rare access to valuable North American archival material to write the definitive book about one of the world's most beloved World War II aircraft.
The T-6 served as an advanced trainer for military pilots from more than 80 different nations around the world for several decades. In addition to highly detailed documentation of every T-6 variant used by both the U.S. Army Air Corps and U.S. Navy, literally all foreign T-6s manufactured in America or exported overseas are listed by individual country as well. Of the nearly 16,000 T-6s built, hundreds still fly today as prized, restored collectibles or airshow performers, giving this book a large potential readership.
"This is not one of those titles that will linger on the shelves to gather dust, but one that will be read and re-read many times. It would be a bit of an understatement to say that this is a book that I highly recommend. If you are a fan of the T-6, you simply must have this one. It is that good." -Modeling Madness, reviewed by Scott Van Aken, June 2009
