WWII Trainer to Commemorate Legendary Aviator and Patriot
The CAF’s Virginia-based Capital Wing is tasked with the stewardship of warbirds the likes of Grumman’s TBF Avenger, Stinson’s L-5 Sentinel, Fairchild’s UC-61 Forwarder, and Vultee’s BT-13 Valiant—a basic trainer used by the United States Army Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and even the U.S. Coast Guard. That the BT-13 Valiant was as ubiquitous and useful in the 1940s as it is unknown in the 2020s is a wrong the CAF is endeavoring to set right.
