Got it, it's the Vultee BT-13 Valiant trainer:



I red that those green stripes on wings and fuse were applied to instrumental flight trainers, it's correct?

Cheers

Looks suspiciously like a twin stick '51. If I remember correctly, she's got a lot of red in her colour scheme and a Squadron Id of 'WD' ?....at work at the moment so can't check my library !!!

Nice looking pic by the way ....but I am a bit biased
 
Well dang it Gary, you could have at least let the ink dry in the post before jumping in!

But you nailed it exactly, no real surprise there, you seem to know the office of a Stang pretty well.

Here she is, the Collings Foundation PT-51C at the Redding Airport back in June 2009:

Stunning shot Dave !

Rightyho....this ones a bit different.

It doesnt have a manufacturers name as such, its a 'one off'. However, having said its a one off, it has some very interesting 'direct' links with WW2.

It was given a name (with a direct historic input) and thats what you've got to try and find out. I'll give you two clues....cos I'm kind hearted !.... Prisoner of War / US Navy

Lets see if you can find out what it was called. When its identified, I'll give you a story that involves me and the designer / builder.

The piccie is the full shot, not cropped. This one will involve a fair bit digging to find out. Have fun

No worries mate, what you've put down is correct for that particula rairframe, but alas, not the one in my piccie.

Another clue....they are related !
