Its role was to prepare American pilots for flying combat machines such as the B-25 Mitchell bomber or the C-47 Skytrain transport. The AT-9 was characterized by its challenging flight characteristics, which made it an excellent aircraft for training pilots before transitioning to demanding operational planes. During World War II, the United States produced 791 units, which were intensively used at 24 training bases across the country from September 1941 to January 1943. These aircraft remained in service until the end of the war, after which most were scrapped—today, only one remains, assembled from parts of several aircraft.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: Modeling books\/Aviation history\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: A4, 176 pages, softcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e16 color pages – archival photographs, diagrams, construction details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthor: Senior Curator at the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field, Seattle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod: World War II (1941-1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDescribes aircraft used by: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The MMP Books 58303 publication constitutes an invaluable source of information for both scale modelers and enthusiasts of American military aviation history.
