Trainer aircraft have always played a major role in military aviation history, often performing roles for which they were never designed. Before military pilots fly high performance tactical aircraft, they must first learn the basicsof flight.This is the roleof the military trainer. Training military student pilots is not a glamorous job, however, it is a very necessary and vital one. To be an effective trainer, an aircraft must possess certain qualities such as an ease of handling and a forgiving nature. These qualities allow the student to smoothly progress through the training cycle; from primary (raining, through advanced training, and finally into combat training in high performance aircraft
Over the years American military trainers have been designed and manufactured by a number of aircraft companies such as Douglas. Curtiss, Cessna, and North American. North American, however, has been especially successful at designing and builcing military trainers, having designed and built two of the most famous US military trainers, the T-6 Texan and T-28 Trojan.
