Yellow-Painted WWII-Era Primary Trainer Aircraft on Museum Display

A restored yellow primary trainer aircraft, typical of the type used to teach thousands of American aviators to fly during World War II, stands on display beneath a large American flag in this aviation museum hangar. Nicknamed the "Yellow Peril" for its high-visibility paint scheme, aircraft like this one formed the first step in the U.S. military's wartime flight training pipeline. Project: 219527
