History of the Curtiss-Wright AT-9 "Jeep" aircraft

The Curtiss-Wright AT-9 "Jeep" was developed in response to the needs of the US Army Air Forces as an aircraft dedicated to advanced pilot training for those who would go on to fly heavier, twin-engine bombers and transports. It was produced from 1941 to 1943 and was used extensively during World War II. Due to its demanding flight characteristics, the AT-9 earned a reputation as a difficult but effective trainer – preparing pilots for handling such challenging machines as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning and the B-series bombers.
