You may want to change the picture on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-6_Texan . It is of a BT-13 not an AT-6.

I don't know where the designation "T-6 Texan" comes from; my understanding is that it was always "AT-6 Texan". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.78.71.98 (talk • contribs) 17:45, March 24, 2006 (UTC)

BT meant "basic trainer" and AT meant "advanced trainer". At some point, they quit making differentiation and just called all trainers "T" --rogerd 23:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

USAAF diveded trainers into PT "primary trainer", BT "basic trainer", and AT "advanced trainer". In 1947 when USAAF became USAF, all trainers became T only. Same times as P "pursuit" became F "fighter", and A "attack" became B "bomber". AT-16 by the way was the USAAF designation on Harvards. Most of the "Japanese" airplanes in the Tora! movie were actually converted Canadian built AT-16 Harvards, not T-6 Texans! I'm thinking of changing that in the article if no one else does.--Towpilot 18:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
