This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Cadet Raph Baker poses with a BT-13 at Enid Army Air School in 1942, a base that used to be his family’s farm.

Hey, Paul, it's always interesting to find a photo with a 'personal' side to it. Thanks for this one!

By the lack of forward pushrods, heavily studded conical shaped nose case, data plate at 7 O'Clock position, spring retainers on baffles, etc......that's a Wright R-975 (if Army likely R975-11 with 2 speed H-S 2D30)....no Pratt. Whether the rest of ship is BT-13 or -15 I wouldn't know but FWF it's a BT-15.
