Hi Gunner,

The prop blade was attached to this 1943 vintage B-13 and nobody knows the details of what happened. The plane crashed in field and the engine was running on impact.

A friend of mine was in the plane when it went down. He was an old time member of our club and I talked to him at an airshow the weekend before.
He had been getting checked out in this plane type and he told me he thought the pilot checking him out was 'trying to kill me.' (true story)

Hi cafdfw, thanks for the reply. Sorry for that what happend to your friend. Excuse my question, but this colours on the aircraft i`ve seen often on Stearman Cadet and on AT 6 Texans. Is this eventually a colour for trainers ?

Regards

Gunner

Hi Gunner,

Yes, the bright blue and yellow colors were used on early trainers to make them easier to spot when one of them went down, and also to help the cadets from running into each other.
I reality, most WWII trainers were left in natural aluminum, but the bright blue and yellow paint scheme is popular on many restored aircraft.

Hi Harlan, thanks for your answer. I tried to google the B-13 but without any succses is this , because of the B, a light bomber ? Also in my books i couldnt find it. Please be so kindly and lighten this black hole in my mind.

Thanks and best regards

Ulrich

Lee Enfield, because of this!!

Hi Harlan, now i think i searched long enough, is this right: Vultee Aircraft, B-13 Valiant Trainer ?

Bt-13

1903A3. I've owned at least 4 LE variations and each had problems I could not solve. I find the 1903s easy to work on & make to shoot accurately.
