I googled "silver ones".

I've seen in a book or online, the family tree beginning with the BT-9 and a whole lot of begetting going on

Thank you , I know that when he enlisted he was sent to Sheppards Field Witchita Falls Texas . I'm trying to figure out what he did during the war . His older brother Lawrence Gault was pilot on B-17 , 772 Bomber Squad , 463 bomber group . He was awarded Silver Star over Purple Heart . Photo of his group

AT-6D, the "L" indicates which airfield it was assigned. Nothing definite for "L" in Advanced Flying Single Engine. USAAF TRAINING AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE CODES of WW II
The 461 may or may not be the last three digits of the s/n.
