T6 Harvard Mk.4M KF 584. The North American Aviation T-6 Texan is an American single-engined advanced trainer aircraft. The British Commonwealth air forces designated it as the Harvard, the name by which it is best known outside the US. The ultimate version, the Harvard 4, was produced by Canada Car and Foundry during the 1950s, and supplied to the RCAF, USAF and Bundeswehr. Let me mention that the Israel Air Force (IAF) bought 17 Harvards, and operated nine of them in the final stages of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, against the Egyptian ground forces, with no losses. In the Sinai Campaign, IAF Harvards attacked Egyptian ground forces in Sinai Peninsula with two losses. About photos: Gdynia Aerobaltic AirShow 2019, Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport 17.08.2019.
