Fairchild T-31 Trainer Flight Single

Designed for economical operation, this T-31 trainer, built by the Fairchild Aircraft Division for the Air Forces, will give the flying cadet his primary and basic flight training in one type aircraft. Its design includes special safety features recommended by veteran pilots, Air Force and Navy training command records, flight instructors and psychologists. Its safety cockpit eliminates the complicated systems of previous trainers and places the controls and instruments in easily accessible positions, carefully worked out for manual efficiency.
