While the majority of the 75's were military aircraft, there were a few civilian A75L3's that were built as civilian examples, along with three of them going to Parks Air College.
With 10,346 of them built, and a good pecentage of those still in existance, it would be quite a project to put this group on the registry. The 75's went through quite a few designations, along with export models, and different engines from the Lycoming, Continental, and Jacobs. Starting post war some models were changed to designations such as the A75L3 as the planes became quite useful for agricultural spraying, etc. Quite a few today have been rebuilt with a data plate, that actually has nothing to do with the planes origins, but gets them in the air again, and I'm glad to see those parts used to put these planes in the air again.
Now, if you'd just like to look at some Stearman pictures, visit the Yahoo site that I moderate at:

To keep spammers out, you must join to look at the pictures, but can cancel after your done, if you're not interested in following the board.
Happy New Year to all.........Roger
