T-6 Texan / AT-6 Harvard

North American Т-6/SNJ/Harvard

<...>
   Потребность в учебно-тренировочном самолете базовой летной подготовки привела в итоге к разработке модификации NA-26, которая стала вариантом модели NA-16, но имевшим убирающееся шасси с хвостовым колесом, двигатель R-1340 мощностью 600 л. с. и более совершенное оборудование. Серийные варианты включали BC-1 (177 самолетов, из которых 30 были модифицированы в учебно-тренировочные BC-11 для обучения полетам по приборам), BC-1A (93) с конструктивными изменениями планера и BC-1B с модифицированным центропланом (построен один самолет). Переклассификация самолета в учебно-тренировочный повышенной подготовки привела к необходимости смены названия - 94 самолета стали носить обозначение AT-6 Texan, они почти не отличались от варианта BC-1A. Последующие варианты самолета: AT-6A с двигателем R-1340-49 и измененными топливными баками (1847), AT-6B для подготовки стрелков (400), AT-6C и AT-6D с измененной силовой конструкцией для экономии легких сплавов(2970 и 4388, соответственно), а также AT-6F с усиленной конструкцией (956). ВМС США тоже активно эксплуатировали данные машины и после варианта NJ-1 к ним поступили самолеты: SNJ-1 (16 машин, похожих на BC-1, но с металлической обшивкой фюзеляжа), SNJ-2 с двигателем R-1340-56 (61), SNJ-4 (2400) и SNJ-5 (1357), эквивалентные вариантам AT-6C и AT-6D, а также SNJ-6 (931 AT-6F, переданный ВМС США из партии в 956 машин, заказанной Армией США). Обозначение SNJ-5C было дано самолетам SNJ-5, оборудованным посадочным гаком для обучения летчиков посадке на палубу авианосца.
   В июне 1938 года Великобритания заказала 200 самолетов BC-1, присвоив им обозначение Harvard Mk I. Но это была только первая партия. Всего же авиации стран Британского Содружества в общей сложности было поставлено более 5000 самолетов - позже машины поставлялись преимущественно в рамках программы ленд-лиза. Большая часть из первых 200 самолетов Harvard Mk I была отправлена в Южную Родезию для использования в рамках плана Содружества по подготовке летчиков своих ВВС (Commonwealth Air Training Plan), но британские ВВС оставили себе почти всю вторую партию - 200 машин. После того, как в целом схожие 20 самолетов были приобретены канадскими ВВС, были закуплены 600 самолетов, схожих с AT-6 и получивших обозначение Harvard Mk II. Данные машины были распределены между британскими ВВС (20), новозеландскими ВВС (67), а также канадскими ВВС (все остальные самолеты).
   Также были приобретены самолеты Harvard Mk III, эквивалентные модификациям AT-6C и AT-6D. Обозначение Harvard Mk IIB было присвоено 2610 самолетам, построенным под обозначением AT-16 компанией "Noorduyn Aviation Ltd" на заводе в Монреале для использования в ВВС Великобритании и Канады и соответствующим модификации AT-6A. В 1946 году данная компания вошла в состав корпорации "Canadian Car and Foundry", которая построила для канадских ВВС 270 учебно-тренировочных самолетов Harvard Mk 4 (по стандарту T-6G) и 285 схожих машин в рамках программы взаимной помощи с ВВС США - под обозначением T-6J.
   Начиная с 1949 года, 2068 самолетов T-6 различных модификаций были переоборудованы, они обозначались T-6G и отличались двигателем R-1340-AN-1, увеличенным запасом топлива, усовершенствованной компоновкой кабины и управляемым хвостовым колесом. Самолеты поступили на вооружение ВВС и ВМС США, и во время войны в Корее 97 из них были переоборудованы в вариант LT-6G и применялись как наблюдательные самолеты и как передовые авианаводчики. В дополнение к Texan, экспортированным в Бразилию, Китай и Венесуэлу, самолеты поставлялись и в другие страны - из запасов ВВС Великобритании, Канады и США.

A YANK at RANTHAM
First North American “Basic” Trainer Delivered to the R.A.F. : The Harvard Described

   A GREAT many opinions have been aired recently on the subject of American aircraft and engines for the R.A.F.; the behaviour and performance of the first Harvard trainer, which has been delivered to No. 12 Flying Training School, Grantham, will therefore be subjected to a very critical examination. The Harvard is the name given, for R.A.F. service, to the two-seater trainer built by North American Aviation, Inc., of Inglewood. California. Two hundred have been ordered. More Harvards are at present being assembled in this country, but delivery is temporarily held up as Mr. Burton, the American test pilot who passes them out, is unwell.
   Several minor modifications have been made to this machine as compared with its American prototype, but the main differences lie in the provision of a retractable undercarriage and the fitting of a 530 h.p. Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine.
   There have been whisperings about the fixed leading-edge slots which are now fitted to the Harvard, but which were not to be found in the earlier North American B.T.9 as used, by the U.S. Army Air Corps. It seems, however, that the flying characteristics of the type were never vicious, and it speaks well for the machine that while, even now, it “stalls on the clock” without over-much warning, those pilots who have so far tried the machine are looking forward to their next flight. It is possible that the Harvard handled more sweetly under normal flying conditions without the slots.
   The "eyebrow" slots, as they are called in America, are a quite recent addition and were devised by the Army Air Corps Material Division.
The first order for some hundred BT-9 "basic" trainers for the U.S. Army Air Corps was completed in 1936, and at the present time another much larger order for slightly modified types is being executed for the U.S. Army and Navy. The Navy version of BT-9B is known as the NJ-1. The latest mark in the States is for Basic Combat or Fighter training. This machine has a Wasp engine and retractable undercarriage and resembles the Harvard more closely than do the rest.
   A.V.M.L.A. Pattinson, Commanding Officer of No. 23 Training Group, said that some twenty-six of these machines are to be delivered to No. 12 F.T.S. at Grantham, to be used in the first place for training fighter pilots in their second (or advanced) term at the school. A normal course at this and the other Flying Training Schools follows immediately after the ab initio training, and is usually divided into two terms of about thirteen weeks with fourteen days break between.
   Grantham’s equipment up to date has consisted of flapped Ansons (camouflaged, with undersurfaces painted “training yellow”), but these are soon to be replaced for pilot training by Airspeed Oxfords in addition to the Harvards.
   As will be seen from the photographs, the Harvard is a low-wing tandem two-seater monoplane. It is of metal covered, welded steel-tube construction with fabric-covered control surfaces. The cantilever wing, made up in five sections, is built round a single spar. Both rudder and elevator are fitted with tabs which are adjustable from wheels in the cockpit. The undercarriage legs fold inward and upward.
   Armament consists of a Browning gun and a camera gun.
   In view of unsuitable weather conditions, the Harvard was not flown at the time of Flight's visit to Grantham. A creditable start from cold, using the hand-operated energy starter was, however, made (the starter can also be electrically energised), and on opening the throttle the combined phons emanating from engine and airscrew - at close quarters noisy to the point of being painful - seemed to justify the widespread comments concerning a yellow monoplane which has already attracted the attention of practically everyone in Grantham.
   A large number of neatly arranged controls and instruments are displayed in the Harvard cockpit, and the traditional American ingenuity and thoroughness in this class of work is apparent. Most controls and instruments are duplicated in the rear cockpit. A pilot passed out as thoroughly conversant with the Harvard and its equipment should be ready to cope with any British Service type.

The Power Plant
   The Wasp S3H1 9-cylinder direct-drive radial engine is supercharged for moderate altitudes, and for take-off gives boo h.p. at 2,250 r.p.m. The normal output at 5,000ft., with a crankshaft speed of 2,200 r.p.m., is 550 h.p. For take-off the mixture is set at full rich; for maximum level flight the air-fuel ratio is about 11:1, and for continuous cruising about 14:1. The take-off boost registered in inches of mercury above zero is 36in. The normal boost is 32.5in., using 87-octane fuel.
   A Hamilton two-bladed 9ft. constant-speed airscrew is fitted, the master control being placed on the same quadrant as the throttle and mixture levers. These three, located on the port side of the cockpit, are all interconnected. The setting of the airscrew blades ranges from 27 deg. in coarse pitch to 11 deg. in fine.
   Three alternative methods of lowering the undercarriage are provided: the normal hydraulic system, a hand pump, and a lever which releases the catch of the top position lock and lets the wheels drop down and out. For normal operation the up or down position is selected on the main lever and momentary depression of a push button on the hydraulic selector valve then starts the movement. This same valve also operates the flaps in a similar manner.
   Three indicator devices are used in connection with the landing wheels. As usual, an electric horn sounds if the throttle is closed below 1,000 r.p.m. with the wheels up. A switch is, however, provided to cut out this warning in case it is desired to close the throttle during flight, and in this case the circuit is automatically reinstated to normal working order on raising the engine speed to about 1,200 r.p.m. Red and green warning lights appear on the panel, these having an intensity control so that bulbs powerful enough to show in daylight do not dazzle at night. Two small indicators painted red on one side and green on the other give a further visual indication of the position of the wheels to supplement the lights. To prevent accidental retraction the control lever must first be pulled upwards before it will move rearwards.
   In the case of an emergency lowering of the wheels, the bottom catches may not engage until the aircraft is rocked laterally. If this expedient fails an emergency plate at the forward end of the lever quadrant is moved aside and the lever pushed forward an extra two inches or so to operate the lock manually.
   Split trailing-edge flaps are attached to centre and outer wing sections. These are fitted with indicators and have an operation lever of square section on the same quadrant as the landing wheels. They may not be lowered at speeds exceeding 126 m.p.h., and for take-off are normally set at about 15 deg.
   Several heating and cooling devices are fitted. The cockpit has a warm air supply pipe, the induction air intake has a hot-cold control lever, permitting very fine adjustment in order to combat possible icing-up; the main oil tank can be almost entirely short-circuited to help in quick warming up of the engine, following a cold start; the pitot head, attached well out on the starboard wing, is electrically heated; and finally, the two emergency venturis for the instruments are placed on the starboard side of the fuselage behind the exhaust outlet.
   In addition to the cockpit heater the pilot’s comfort is further considered. The rudder pedals move horizontally and are adjustable for position; the brake pedals combined with the rudder controls are very light in operation; a telephonic intercommunication system is provided; the seat has a wide range of adjustment for height; and located centrally in front of the control column is a large locker for maps, cards, etc.
   Port and starboard fuel tanks are fitted, each holding 42.6 gallons, of which the port tank has 15.8 gal. held in reserve. The single petrol cock, placed on the port side of the cockpit, has four positions: "off," "right on," "left on," "reserve." A red warning light connected with the fuel pressure system indicates the need to change over tanks, and two fuel gauges on the floor, one each side of the pilot’s seat, have individual illumination, controlled by a switch on the main panel. The endurance at cruising speed (65 per cent, power at rated altitude) is about 3.95 hours. At top speed this is reduced to just over 2 hours.
   Valuable training in the use of a mixture control will form part of the course on Harvards, and an exhaust-gas analyser, a cylinder temperature thermometer and a boost gauge will all have to be used intelligently in conjunction with the mixture, throttle and airscrew controls. Complete blind- and night-flying equipment is fitted.
   A master locking device is interconnected with all flying controls, the position being set to cause the machine to nose over into the ground if the throttle should be inadvertently pushed open when no one is at the controls. A parking brake is also provided.
   In view of the growing complexity of the modern military aircraft the following instructions (as received from America) are not without interest.
   Assuming the fuel and oil tanks to be full and cylinders free of excess oil, the starting operations are: -
   Preliminaries. - (1) Put on parking brakes. (2) Turn on left fuel tank. (2) Carburetter control heat on full cold. (4) Airscrew control coarse. (5) Mixture control full rich. (6) Throttle half-inch open. (7) Fuel hand pumped to 3 lb. pressure [descriptively termed “wobbling-up the gas”]. (8) Four to six strokes of priming pump. (9) Contact. (10) Press rear end of starter pedal to energise starter, (11) Press forward end of starter pedal to engage starter.
   Warming-up. - Minimum oil temperature for take-off, 40 deg. C.; maximum cylinder temperature on the ground 260 deg. C. (1) Adjust throttle to give 500 to 600 r.p.m., holding this until 50 lb. oil pressure is obtained. (2) Airscrew in fine pitch. (3) Throttle to 1,000 r.p.m. (4) Mixture full rich.
   Take-off. - Items to be observed: (1) Fuel on. (2) Controls unlocked. (3) Mixture control rich. (4) Airscrew fine. (5) Flap position (15 deg. for maximum obstacle clearance). (6) Elevator tabs neutral. (7) Carburetter heater cold.
   It is usual to turn on the right-hand tank after about 5 minutes’ flight, possibly to ensure that a brimming tank does not lose fuel due to expansion on reaching high altitudes.
   Landing. - Items to be observed: (1) Mixture control rich. (2) Landing gear down. (3) Flaps down. (4) Airscrew fine. (5) Carburetter heater cold.
   Stopping the Engine. - (Carburetter has an “idle cutoff” (or slow-running cut-out) device when mixture is at full lean). - (1) Set airscrew control at coarse pitch. (2) Idle engine at about 600 r.p.m. (3) Set mixture at full lean (weak). (4) Turn off ignition switch after the engine ceases to fire.
   Figures for the Harvard are: Span, 42ft.; length, 27ft. 6in.; height, 8ft. 9in.; wing area, 255 sq. ft.; wing loading, 20.1 lb./sq. ft.; power loading, 9.68 Ib./b.h.p.; all-up weight, 5,130 lb.; maximum speed, 210 m.p.h. at 2,000ft.; cruising speed, 190 m.p.h. at 11,000ft.; cruising range (consumption. 23 gall./hr. approx.), 750 miles; service ceiling, 23,500ft.; climb to 10,000ft., 11.6 min.

Photographed earlier this year at Vrede, South Africa, these Harvards belong to the “Harvard Club” based at Springs near Johannesburg, reports Mike Gaines. The club hopes eventually to operate ten aircraft as a “national memorial” to the type’s 55 years of SAAF service, which ended last year. These plans suffered a setback on the weekend of September 28-29, 1996, however, when one of the five Harvards acquired so far crashed at Pietersburg, killing both occupants.

These photographs were taken at RAF Grantham in January 1939. The weather was so bad that the station was unable to put a Harvard into the air for Flight's photographer. However, one of the aircraft, N7003, was started up. with the aid of the “hand-operated energy starter" and the noise of the Wasp S3HI nine-cylinder engine at close quarters was described as painful. N7003 was delivered to No 12 FTS at Grantham and later passed to No 14 FTS, when it was written off in a forced landing at East End, Beds in May 1940. The aircraft was painted yellow overall and operated beside Grantham's camouflaged Ansons before the latter were replaced by Oxfords. Deliveries from America were delayed for a period because the American test pilot at Inglewood was ill!

The Fernando Po authorities refused to allow dawn supply flights to Biafra and in a vain attempt to divert attention the Anson's flightplan always showed either Sao Tome or Libreville in Gabon as the destination. On one occasion in August 1968 a locally-based Spanish Air Force Detachment T-6 Harvard was flown out to escort G-AWMG on its return to Fernando Po. When asked why the aircraft was approaching from the direction of Biafra the crew "admitted" to having got lost.

An Italian-built Vampire FB.52 after its delivery to Egypt. This aircraft still only has its serial number in European numerals, suggesting that Arabic numerals were added just before the Suez War. Italian-built Vampires in Egyptian service were distinguished from those made by de Havilland itself by having black anti-dazzle panels in front of their cockpits. This particular machine, number 1563, was probably delivered with the Syrian MDN number 36 (ex-Italian Air Force 6039) and may have been a survivor of Suez; the presence of a T-6 in the background perhaps indicating that remaining Vampires were used as advanced trainers at the Bilbeis Air Academy for a time.

Syria tends to be off the beaten track for most aviation enthusiasts, but London reader Brian Murray has sent us some photographs taken recently at the Damascus Military Museum. Several aircraft, including the Harvard shown, the Cub, an Aero L-29 Delfin and a Wallis autogyro, are on outdoor display amongst trees, giving the impression, as Murray puts it, of having been "dropped vertically into their overgrown landscape". The Harvard has clearly had evergreen saplings planted right next to its fuselage after it had been positioned - presumably to provide growing protection from the Syrian sun.

It was struck off strength on October 18, 1960, going to the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation. The complex means of righting the aircraft was later replaced by four airmen lifting the propeller, the descending tail being caught by three or four of their companions.

Canadian-serialled Harvard II 2693 (c/n 66-2426) was taken on strength on November 29, 1940, and turned turtle on July 20, 1941. Although the accident was classed at Cat A, it was written off and struck off on August 4 the same year. The close-up of the cockpit stresses the value of the crash pylon, which was fitted between the pupil’s and instructor's seats.

Harvard II AH197 (c/n 66-2759) reduced to three component parts after a mishap which put it in accident Category A (repairable on site by unit) on April 9, 1941. It seems, however, that Summerside did not repair it, as it was struck off strength on May 23 the same year. It had originally “joined up" on November 5, 1940.

THE LINDSAY AIR FORCE OVER FOLLY FARM, HUNGERFORD. The aircraft collection of the late Hon Patrick Lindsay. "This was a truly wonderful assignment, which took over a year to complete. One reason for this was that I so enjoyed clambering over and studying Patrick's aeroplanes that I was in no hurry to complete the painting Because every machine had a special significance for its owner, I wanted each to be seen clearly, hence I drew them in this close formation The collection in 1983 was, from left to right Sopwith Triplane; S E.5a, Hawker Fury, Fiat G.46; Fieseler Storch; Spitfire IA; Harvard, Great Lakes 2T-1A, Morane MS 230, Pilatus P.2; Stampe SV-4. The S.E.5a and Fury were unfinished while I was working on the picture, so the markings are fictitious. The following year, 1984, I completed an even more complicated painting, of Patrick Lindsay's automobile collection, in which I included the Spitfire, the Morane and the Manning-Flanders Monoplane replica which Patrick flew across the Channel in 1984 to commemorate Bleriot's historic first crossing in 1909".
