The AT-9 was described by Curtiss chief test pilot Childs as "A terrible airplane that landed hotter than hell." It's not obvious that it would have been any use to civilian users. In the middle of WWII the USAAF switched to a much better and safer airplane for multi-engine training, one that was also useful for other duties and it served as a trainer and general hack transport well into the 1950's.
Actually, there was a civilian use for surplus AT-9's. They were great for mechanic schools. I think that the Air Force Museum rescued their AT-9 from Spartan School of Aeronautics. Spartan also had Fairchild AT-21's.
Wish they rescued the AT-21 as well.
My father said the AT-21's were parked outside for engine runs. One day there was a loud noise. The termites had stopped holding hands and the tail of an AT-21 had fallen off.

There is an AT-21 being restored. Fresh termites, no doubt.

Too bad that I can't afford new kits, I also don't have room due to all of my un-built kits.
