Historical description of the Stearman PT-17 Kaydet model

The Boeing-Stearman Model 75 PT-17 Kaydet is one of the most recognizable biplane trainers used by the United States Air Force and Navy during World War II (in service: 1934–1950). Over 10,000 units were produced as trainers for pilots of the US Army Air Forces, US Navy, as well as Canadian and South American air forces. Kaydets served mainly at training bases and during aerobatic and basic training, forming an indispensable element of the Allied air training infrastructure.
