I am working on initial files for the PT-26 Cornell Registry, what I need is a good shot of a PT-26, preferrably in the air, font or side shot, with wings level. This will be used in the header graphic, something like this
Image

I can also use a three view drawing for the background if anybody has one.

Also, if you have any pictures of PT-26 warbirds, nows the time to send them in. (submit@warbirdregistry.org.REMOVETHISLASTPARTBEFORESENDING)

Don't know if this will help you or not Scott. I don't have the computer skills to "fix" this photo, but this is the best I could do.

Scott, PM Steve Dennis. I'm sure he's both willing and able to assist you with just about anything pertaining to the PT-19/-23/-26 family...photos, diagrams, ad nauseum.

This week deer season continues in Wisconsin though, so you might have to wait until our "mighty Nimrod" returns to the cave with carrion before you ask.

By the way, did the TBY stuff I sent ever get to you?

Scott,

Here are a couple for your consideration.

Image

Image

I recommend the first, due to the bogus nature of any non-Canadian paint scheme on a PT-26.

If you are searching for photos for the individual aircraft entries, I have shots of the following PT-26s:

N103JC "RCAF 10618"
N261A
N770Y
N1175N
N1522H
N9858H
N9762H "RCAF 15354"
N1161
N49462 "RCAF FH991"
N53279
N61013
N63568 "RCAF EW440"
N69167
N69256
N73520
N75463 "RCAF FH950"
C-GCWT "RCAF 10835"
C-GATP "RCAF FV725"

Possibly also a few others I can't find as quickly.

August

I wasn't going to combine them but now that you mention it. They are closely related aren't they, the PT-26's biggest difference is the enclosed canopy?

And thanks Gary, that picture will indeed make a suitable background.

The PT-19 came first, then a canopy and larger engine was installed to make the PT-26.

Might as well toss the -23 in as well, since all three are referred to as the Fairchild Cornell.
