Here’s an interesting link to a posting on Hyperscale that shows a 3-d image of a North American NA-57 in German service. So, all those old films with Harvards pretending to be Gerry fighters are not as innacurate as I thought. 🙂

Do any of these exist anywhere? It looks a lot like a Wirraway.

Here’s a link to my favourite site for information on US aircraft, which attempts to define every model:

French Yales
One reason they may of had a different model number is they had throttles that act in the reverse of the U.S. standard.

And do any of these French/German examples exist in museums or fly?

[QUOTE=Flood]Its a model of a Yale. QUOTE]
Well this has confused me. I was thinking that the Yale was the NA-64, rather than this NA-57. Then I found this site which lists NA products – it seems a load of their designs were called Yale, so I guess there are all different types of Yale.

Nice links by the way Flood, thanks. Some interesting photos. How many Yales survive? Are there loads of them like the Harvard? And do any of these French/German examples exist in museums or fly?

Its a model of a Yale. It is based on an aircraft captured in France by Germany in 1940 and used for second line duties (training and the like).
Have a look here –
