Introduction

The Stearman PT-17 was a primary flight trainer used by

the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC) during World War II.

The PT-17 was a conventional biplane design with an

open, two-place cockpit to accommodate a student and

instructor, in tandem. The aircraft was constructed with

wood wings and a welded steel fuselage, all covered

with fabric. The plane became highly recognizable with

its biplane design and exposed radial engine. The

PT-17 was known as a rugged aircraft and an excellent

trainer. The PT-17 was designed by the Stearman

Aircraft Corporation and in 1934 Boeing purchased the

company. Boeing manufactured over 10,500 PT-17s and

when production ended it became known as the last

production military biplane built in the United States.

performed once, while steps with two circles (Ο Ο)

indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for

a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
