T-28 Trojan
The T-28 was
the first post war advanced trainer produced in quantity for training
pilots for high-speed jet aircraft. Nearly 2000 of these fine trainers
where built before production ended in 1957. With advent of the war in
South Vietnam, the T-28 was given a new lease on life when it proved to
be effective “COIN’ or counter insurgency aircraft
against enemy forces operating in the dense tropical jungle. Flown by
Vietnamese pilots, the T-28 usually also carried an American
advisor-observer on these combat missions.
