This model comes in a wide range of formats. The PT-17 was used in World War II as a basic flight instruction aircraft by nearly all branches of the services. The Stearman was a biplane of simple construction with a radial engine for power. They were relatively inexpensive to build, sturdy and stable. Many hundreds were built and in service before, during and after World War II. After the war many were sold to the surplus aircraft market and came into civilian hands. These were used as flight trainers, patrol aircraft, crop dusters and personal aircraft. Some were modified and used for aerobatics in air shows. Quite a few are still flying and remain a prized possession of those who own them.
