| Scale: 1:24 Length: 13" Wingspan: 17" The PT-26, like the PT-19, used a Ranger air-cooled, in-line engine. A third Cornell variant, the open-cockpit PT-23, was very similar to the PT-19 and PT-26, but was powered by a Continental air-cooled radial engine. By the time Cornell production came to an end, approximately 7,700 PT-19s, PT-23s, and PT-26s had been built under AAF contracts. T he PT-26 on display was donated to the USAF Museum by Dr. L. Rodger Currie of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and was flown to the Museum on July 3, 1984. Eventually, the donor's personal markings will be replaced by authentic markings carried by a PT-26 of the WW II era.
