Radial-Engine Military Trainer/Attack Aircraft on Museum Display, Nose View

This radial-engine military aircraft, preserved in the museum's collection as a North American T-28 Trojan, represents the piston-powered trainers and light attack aircraft used to prepare U.S. military aviators during the mid-20th century, including the Vietnam War era. Its distinctive round cowling and four-blade propeller are hallmarks of postwar American radial-engine aircraft design. Project: 218919
