boeing n2s-3 kaydet

The Stearman model 75, widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman (Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934) or Kaydet is a biplane, of which over 10,000 were built in the United States during the 1930s as a military trainer aircraft. It served as the basic trainer for the USAAF (as the Kaydet) and USN (as the N2S) throughout World War II and after the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.
