During the Korean war, Navy trainees did their first solo in the SNJ. I don't know whether this was due to a new theory of training or a shortage of the Stearman biplanes used in World War II.
It becomes routine; the T 6 was a standard trainer in many air forces til the late 60s but before the (three tons 600 Hp) T 6 you had to learn & be able to solo fly a lesser and easier plane or planes.
While a student at Academia Militar del Caribe outside Habana, Cuba I was sent to California Aircraft Institute in Los Angeles, California to receive a certificate as an Aircraft Navigator..later went to Texas to train to fly the AT-6 Texan , and P-38 plane .this took place back in the late 1950's. and never to return to Cuba due to Fidel Castro coup..here I am 53 years later in the U.S.A.

Phil Meyer, yup, my pops flew BB2's in Korea, but trained in these. Were you a Navy pilot too?

Estas filmaciones NO enseñaban, pero SÍ servían para aclarar las ideas.
