Designed as a replacement for the T-6 Texan, North American's T-28
Trojan first flew in 1949 and remained in production until 1957.
The T-28A was initially adopted as primary trainer by the U.S. Air
Force, but it served in this capacity for less than a decade. The
U.S. Navy and Marine Corps found the T-28B/C model aircraft well
suited to their needs, and continued to use it up until 1984, when
it was replaced by the T-34C turboprop. Despite its training
designation, the T-28 flew in a combat role, perhaps most famously
during the Vietnam conflict where Trojans performed close air
supportand counter-insurgency missions for the C.I.A. Modified
attack trainer T-28D "Nomads" also flew for the French in Algeria.
Originally created by the U.S. Navy in 1962, this T-28B/C pilot's
flight operating manual was required reading for pilots and
trainees. This high quality reproduction includes the original
manual in its entirety, includinginformation on carrier landing
training and emergency procedures. It's a fascinating reference
that puts you right in the cockpit of one of history's great
planes.
