T-28B TROJAN

Military History

The T-28 Trojan, created by North American Aviation to replace the T-6 Texan, went into production in 1950. NAA first manufactured this training aircraft in three different configurations. The T-28A, the Air Force version, had an engine with 800 horsepower. The engine of the Navy and Marine Corps version (T-28B) produced 1,425 horsepower. To make it suitable for carrier training, a T-28C was developed with a larger engine and a tailhook. Of the three models, 1,948 had been constructed by the time production terminated in 1957.

The Air Force started converting T-28As into T-28D Nomad tactical fighter-bombers in 1962. The T-28D was modified and had a larger engine. During the Vietnam War, both U.S. forces and the South Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF) employed the T-28D, which demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in close air support and counter-insurgency combat.

From 1950 to the 1970s, the T-28 was utilized by the many branches of the United States military.
