Gerradtgrant Posted May 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2018 I recently picked up these three photos of a WW2 pilot. I know there isn't much to go by, but any idea what kind of plane he is standing at? My first thought was a glider. Any help is appreciated!

pararaftanr2 Posted May 2, 2018 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2018 It looks like a Stearman PT-17 Kaydet biplane, used as a primary trainer by the USAAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerradtgrant Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted May 2, 2018 Googling it definitely looks like you nailed it. Thanks for the help! Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marketc47 Posted May 3, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 3, 2018 Do you know the name of the Pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerradtgrant Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted May 3, 2018 Unfortunately, I do not know his name. Came in a grouping of other pictures of different soldiers and documents, trying to sort through it and hopefully come up with a name.
