Historical Notes:

• Adv-2E Flying Training was conducted at Stewart AAF, NY and was exclusively for the cadets at the USMA.
• Cadets typically received 75-80 hrs flying instruction prior to moving to Transition-Specialized aircraft.
• The Curtiss AT-9 was barred from civilian surplus sales because of inherent dangers of the aircraft. However, Dan Hagedorn's book "The Curtiss-Wright AT-9..." pg. 152 states that six aircraft were indeed sold surplus to individual buyers in 1946. The majority of the aircraft were scrapped at Hatbox Airlfield, OK (328) and Stamford, TX (86). The sole existing intact aircraft is on display at the NMUSAF.  
• Post-WWII sales of the Beech AT-10 were made primarily for the purpose of scavengng the engines from the airframe for use on PT-17 crop duster aircraft. The sole existing intact AT-10 is on display at the NMUSAF.
• Following V-E Day all remaining AT-20's were returned to the RCAF 
• Turner AAF Navigation School was transferred to Selman AAF in Nov 42. It then became the Adv 2-E school with 38 AT-10 and 183 B-25 aircraft.
• Freeman AAF utilized 250 AT-10 aircraft
