The Curtiss "Jeep" was purposely designed to be difficult to fly, so students would be able to handle twin aircraft like the P-38.

Because of that trait, no flyable airframes were offered to the public.

The only two surviving AT-9 (including the one in the color photo) were cobbled together from wrecks.

A similar requirement philosophy resulted in the Northrop T-38 - designed to prepare pilots for Century-series fighters.

The Swedes used the P-35! and they also used a larger two seater version of the P-35 as a light bomber, (well they were going to, but only two were delivered before the US prevented any more shipments)
