The Stearman Model 75 Kaydet became America's most prolific primary trainer aircraft during World War II, training an entire generation of Allied pilots. First flown on January 1, 1934, it was a tandem two-seat biplane powered by a single radial engine, capable of withstanding extreme aerobatic forces up to 12 positive and 9 negative Gs. With a service ceiling of 13,200 feet and 505-mile range, approximately 10,000 aircraft were manufactured by the Stearman Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas.
