[Bernie]

First, thank you for your help. I am doing some research on multi-engine train at Kelly Army Airfield in the spring of 1942.
Can anybody confirm, was the Beech AT-10 Wichita used at Kelly. I am pretty sure it was...but cannot track down
Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you...

There were only 44 AT-10 built by end May 1942. 41-1711 to 1732 and 1734 to 1755, most initially delivered to Higley. Their cards do not mention Kelly. The first AT-10 recorded as initially delivered to Kelly was 41-9248 in August 1942. The block 42-1711 to 1860 were mostly delivered to Higley or Roswell April to August 1942, while 42-9246 to 9436 were delivered to Valdost or Kelly August and September 1942 . Need to amend the season or hemisphere.

Mr. Sinclair,

I cannot thank you enough for your reply!! Very kind. Kelly was obviously not flying the AT-10 in the spring of 1942.

Again...MANY THANKS!!

Sir,

Thank you VERY MUCH for your reply. This database is pure magic. I had not come across that in my research. Kelly was obviously not training in the AT-10 in the spring of 1942.

Using the database, I did track down that Ellington Field, Texas was doing advanced twin-engine training for bomber and transport pilots using the AT-9, "The Jeep" and had an accident in early February of 1942...that will work.

A BIG THANKS to everyone on this thread for your help.

Kind regards,

Bernie

I have a file containing the Aircraft Record Cards for that sequence. If you are interested, I can send you a copy.
