The Navy's N2S-X, Army PT-17, and the earlier PT-13 were all commonly referred to as Stearmans despite Boeing's purchase of the
Stearman Aircraft Company. This aircraft was truly one of the Allies' greatest weapons of WWII from 1935-1945 even though it took no direct action in combat and carried no armament: it was these types that a vast number of military and naval pilots earned their wings.
During World War II, many cadets failed pilot training in this primary trainer, despite its low speed and maneuverability. Stearmans are the biplane you are most likely to see flying, in part because so many (8,584 built by Boeing with enough spare parts to construct 10,346) were produced for the USAAC and Navy and in part because so many have survived the rigors of student pilots. They are popular as airshow
performers and you can count on seeing them at almost any fly-in that draws antique aircraft.
