T-6 Texan (North American) Blueprint T-shirt

T-6 Texan (North American) Blueprint T-shirt by Squadron Posters! (This is NOT the current aircraft trainer, seen here: T-6 Texan II)

Designed by North American Aviation, the T-6 is known by a variety of designations depending on the model and operating air force. The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and USAAF designated it as the AT-6, the United States Navy the SNJ, and British Commonwealth air forces the Harvard, the name by which it is best known outside the US. Starting in 1948, the new United States Air Force (USAF) designated it the T-6, with the USN following in 1962. The T-6 Texan remains a popular warbird used for airshow demonstrations and static displays. It has also been used many times to simulate various historical aircraft, including the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero. A total of 15,495 T-6s of all variants have been built.

The aircraft was mainly used for training, but in many cases it was also repurposed into combat roles. The aircraft served in over sixty air forces around the world during the 20th century. After serving in air forces, it also went on to be displayed at air shows and museums as a warbird. Check out this stunning T-6 Texan (North American) Blueprint T-shirt by Squadron Posters!
