North American T-28 Trojan Trainer and Light-Attack Family
The North American T-28 Trojan was a postwar single-engine trainer family that replaced the T-6 with tricycle landing gear and higher performance, then extended into naval training, export service, and counterinsurgency attack conversions. Its broad service across the United States and allied air arms made it a defining bridge between piston trainers and the jet-age pilot pipeline.
