I have seen it written as 92nd School SquadronDoes anybody know which unit was 92ED?
I love the looks of this plane. I understand it was difficult fly and wasn't to be sold on the civilian market. I don't know how true that was.Curtiss-Wright AT-9 advanced trainer.

It was extremely squirrely.... Engine out on landing usually resulted in destruction. Only a couple survived the end of the war scrapping and tech school life. The one at Dayton is a composite of two airframes and a lot of reproduction work. Pima has part of one, but I don't know what it consists of. There is one cockpit section that might be the basis for a restoration, but I haven't heard anything on that project in years. I don't know if is this is what Pima has, or is privately held.I love the looks of this plane. I understand it was difficult fly and wasn't to be sold on the civilian market.

Was it specifically designed to be "challenging" to fly? It was supposed to be an advanced trainer, right?It was extremely squirrely.... Engine out on landing usually resulted in destruction.
