Looking for pictures of NA AT-6D’s from the early ’40’s. In particular in and around 42-85068/cn 88-16849. Looking for original paint scheme(s) from the period. Not looking for custom or one off schemes. Have been searching but not much luck. Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi,
Yes, had those schemes in my mind. Have already made a nice drawing with the correct serial (42-85068) on the tail. Although this one did not serve (as far as I know) with 8AAF in Europe, a sistership (42-85066) did !

Hi Tim –
I have some copies of original colour pics of AT-6D Hacks in the UK – at Raydon and Mount Farm – I’m sure Benno will send you them anyway – he is Europes T-6 Guru- have spoken to Steve A – and will sort out some info for you and the tech orders if I can find em.
Have plenty of T-6 experience….we’re doing 4…

Books
Thanks guys. I have found copies at Amazon and e-bay, as well as Warbirds, etc.
Still, an original picture, or a link to pictures of the real thing would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
SD

Alas it would seem it is out of print.

T-6 Pix
I find it hard to believe, but when I searched their web site I could not find anything on the T-6. I thought I was missing something but no matter what I search under for them nothing comes up. Maybe I am. If you have a link please send it along.

Have you got a copy of the Squadron Signal publication in the In Action series on the the T6?
