PT-17A Kaydett Model Plane - The Kaydet or more commonly known as the Boeing Stearman, was a biplane built during the 1930s as a military trainer aircraft. Nearly every pilot in the US Army Air Force, the US Navy, and a number of foreign countries flew the Kaydet as a basic trainer to earn their wings. After World War II, thousands of surplus Kaydets were sold and became popular as crop dusters and sports planes.
