Design and development
The PT-19 series was developed from the Fairchild M-62 when the USAAC first ordered the aircraft in 1940 as part of its expansion program.
The [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] low-wing monoplane with [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] design was based on a two-place, tandem seating, open [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] arrangement.

The simple but rugged construction included a fabric-covered welded steel tube [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The remainder of the aircraft used plywood construction, with a plywood-sheathed center section, outer wing panels and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The use of an [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] allowed for a narrow frontal area which was ideal for visibility while the widely set-apart fixed landing gear allowed for solid and stable ground handling.

The M-62 first flew in May 1939, and won a fly-off competition later that year against 17 other designs for the new Army training airplane.
Fairchild was awarded its first Army PT contract for an initial order on 22 September 1939.

When a shortage of engines threatened production, the PT-23 model was introduced which was identical except for the 220 hp [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] powerplant.
A total of 869 PT-23s were built as well as 256 of the PT-23A, which was the instrument flight-equipped version.
The PT-23 was manufactured in the US by Fairchild, Aeronca, St Louis Aircraft Corporation and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and in [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] by [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] as well as Fabrica do Galeao in [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

Maintenance officers at the USAAF overhaul depots had been forced to order replacement of the wooden wing sections after only two to three months' active service because of wood rot and ply separation issues.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Subsequent to this incident, the USAAF incorporated a demand for all-metal wing sections on all future fixed-wing training aircraft.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Operational history
Compared to the earlier [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] trainers, the Fairchild PT-19 provided a more advanced type of aircraft.
Speeds were higher and wing loading more closely approximated that of combat aircraft, with flight characteristics demanding more precision and care.
Its virtues were that it was inexpensive, simple to maintain and, most of all, virtually vice-less.

The PT-19 truly lived up to its nickname, the Cradle of Heroes.
It was one of a handful of primary trainer designs that were the first stop on a cadet's way to becoming a combat pilot.
Thousands of the PT-19 series were rapidly integrated into the US and Commonwealth training programs, serving throughout World War II and beyond.
Even after their retirement in the late 1940s, a substantial number found their way onto the US civil register.
There are 98 airworthy world-wide today.
