BT-13A in New Mexico 1947 Info (pic included) - Info Needed

[Paul Krumrei]

Ok, We have a BT-13A which looks like 41-214 from Mather Field, but the side of the aircraft looks like 41-214XX IT cannot be 41-214 because that aircraft was lost ni a major crash in 1942...the picture on my page is from 1947.

Anyone with help?

Paul -- I came upon your web site when looking for info on BT-13s. My father was a professional photographer in Albuquerque, NM, as well as an aviation historian and pilot. I have attached a photo of a BT-13A (that is me and my mother) he took, I believe sometime in 1947, on what was then a private unpaved airport on the east mesa of Albuquerque - the area is now in the middle of Albuquerque. Kirtland Field, now Kirtland AFB is approx. 10 miles to the south. Unfortunately little is known about the aircraft. The aircraft designation info below the windshield is partially blocked by the wingtip. Under magnification I could barely read "Mather Field and BT-13A" and no serial # or order date. My dad passed away in January and I am now going through massive amounts of photographs, many of which are of WWII aircraft. If this transfer is successful and you would like some more photos without much info to go with them, please let me know.
Thanks,
