The North American T-6 Texan was known as "the pilot maker" because of its important role in preparing pilots for combat. T-6 Texan was manufactured by North American Aviation and was used by the United States Air Forces (USAF), United States Navy (US Navy), and Royal Air Force (RAF) in training their fighter pilots before they enter go into combat. Derived from the 1935 North American NA-16 prototype, a cantilever low-wing monoplane, the Texan filled the need for a basic combat trainer during World War II and beyond.

The T-6 Texan's maiden flight was on April 1, 1935. It was designed to be a low wing advanced military trainer. The T-6 was put into service as a forward air control aircraft. A lot of small countries used T-6 Texan in combat against political rebellion. It has been a regular participant in air shows since the Second World War and was later used in movies such a "Tora! Tora! Tora!", and more.

North American's rapid production of the T-6 Texan coincided with the wartime expansion of the United States air war commitment. As of 1940, the required flights hours for combat pilots earning their wings had been cut to just 200 during a shortened training period of seven months. Of those hours, 75 were logged in the AT-6.
