It is a shame the Fairchild M 62A is not listed. Those were produced just before WWII as a military primary trainer, the PT 19, 23 and the PT 22. The PT19 was open cockpit fore-aft with no electrical system, and a Ranger L440 engine of 175 or 200 hp and a wood prop. The 22 was a closed cockpit used by Canada for their trainer. Many were built under license by Fleet and others. Wings were plywood, tail was fabric, and engine cowl was metal.
