I have a T-6 aileron tab that is stenciled with the Spanish equivalent of "No Push." While it may not have come from the North American Aviation (NAA) factory that way, it was clearly applied for military service. Or, it could have been stenciled in Spanish by NAA under a spare parts order.waroff wrote:"no step" on trailing edge and "no push" on trim tab are only on warbird, not on WW2 airplane

T-6 and some of their NAA predecessors, saw military and civilian service in most -if not, all- of Latin America, including Cuba, the Republica Dominicana, and Haiti and Brazil.
They also served in large numbers and were extensively used in combat in Norrh Africa, by the Spanish AF (Ejército del Aire)
This would help explain the Spanish lettering you mentioned.

9-187A. EXTERNAL SIGHT POST.
9-187B. DESCRIPTION. (See figure 9-14.) An external
sight post is installed through a bolt hole in the armor
plate on the left-hand side of the fuselage at approxi-
mately station 99. The sight post is mounted parallel to
the fuselage reference plane and is used in conjunction
with angle dots painted on the interior surface of the
left-hand windshield side panel. The dots are located at
angles of 45, 50 and 55 degress from the sight post at
approximately fuselage station 106 to enable the pilot to
establish a line of sight with a fixed object in juxtaposi-
tion to the selected target.
