PT-19 Premium T-Shirt

The PT-19 and it's variants, the PT-23 and PT-26, were ubiquitous primary trainers during World War II. Serving as a first step for many cadets during their training, the PT-19 led to basic and advanced trainers such as the BT-13 and AT-6. A quick scan of almost any WWII pilot log book will show hours of early training in the PT-19. 

Commemorative Air Force is the world's largest operator of PT-19s with 26 aircraft in the fleet. 

The back features a detailed, hand-illustrated six-color print of Birmingham Escadrille's Fairchild PT-19 #43, capturing the distinctive blue and yellow livery of this historic WWII trainer. The artwork incorporates the original Fairchild Aircraft logo, the aircraft's serial number (42-83435), and Commemorative Air Force insignia.

 On the front, a subtle left-chest print features CAF Wings beneath the PT-19 designation.

 Screen-printed on a premium, heavy-weight 100% Cotton T-Shirt in a Off-White.
