23KD, 1943. Advt. iv. NORTH AMERICAN SETS THE PACE ... on tne Sncainina /tne Jwonla "An '*r A SQQADRON OF NORTH AMERICAN ATS TEXAN TR'AINERS "PEELING OFF" FROM ECHELON FORMATION PILOTS OF 24 NATIONS TRAIN IN "TEXANS" The most widely used trainer in the world todayis the North American Texan, formerly knownas the Harvard. More than 10,000 airplanes— believed to be a world's record—have been built in North American Aviation's trainer series. Twenty-four nations have chosen the Texan as their own combat trainer. Their wing insignia adorn this page. In gunnery and bombing practice; in formation and instrument flying; in coast patrol and semi- combat duty the Texan has proved its versatility. A pilot trained in a Texan is equal to any job in modern air war. He feels as much at home in a P-51 Musung fighter or B-25 Mitchell Bomber as in a North American trainer. For the instrument panels and controls in all three North American planes have been specially designed to make the transition "painless" from trainer to fighter or bomber—helping give young pilots full confidence on their first flight in a heavier plane. In the United States Army Air Forces almost every pilot of a fighter or bomber — whether single-engine or twin-engine—won his wings in a North American trainer. That's a mighty impor- tant fact that we, the men and women of North American, are proud of. Free! Reprint bf this page. Send postcard to North American Aviation, Dept.Y, Inglewood, California.
