Historical Purpose and Application

The seatbelts from this set are intended for the American Boeing-Stearman PT-17 Kaydet training aircraft model. This aircraft was mainly used by the United States Army Air Forces during WWII, from the early 1940s until the end of the war. The use of such aircraft for pilot training enabled the preparation of thousands of aviators for frontline service during the global conflict. The PT-17 became a permanent fixture in the history of U.S. military aviation as a reliable training platform, present at almost every American training airfield of that era.
