BT-9 and BT-14 Photos

[jdvoss]

I am looking for photos of BT-9 and BT-14 that display the classic fuselage letter code utilized on training aircraft during WWII. These codes started appearing in mid 1942 and I do not doubt that some BT-9, -14 aircraft did have this marking until BT-13's began to replace them.

I'm sure that these photos are no doubt rare but if they exist I'd like to add them to my website. Of course you will receive photo credit on my site. http://www.fuselagecodes.com

Can't help with those but I found a couple others you might use from Life Images:

B-17G, tail code "P C4" from ?:

AT-6, code "CR726" from Craig Field, Alabama:

They were in the "Master X" thread about B-17G 42-107800.
Nice job on your site!

The "PC4" marked B-17 is possibly from Pecos or Pyote AAF's. The "P" stood for the base, the "C" stood for the Flight and " 4" meant that it was the fourth aircraft within "C" Flight.

The two AT-6's appear to be recently surplused A/C given that the insignia is blotted out. I cannot help feel that the AT-6 in the foreground and the similarly pranged distant AT-6 are somehow related. Possibly a Tornado...?

The aircraft in the foreground has #1248 on the underside of the wing
It appears this corresponds to BT-14, serial number 40-1248
Also looking at the photo it appears to be a post war aircraft surplus/scrapping location.

BT-14 gear does not retract

Here's the Master X thread; the links will fill you in on just why those T-6s are nose down/upside down. Truth is stranger than fiction...

And the number 1248 is AT-6A s/n 41-248.
