Boeing Stearman
The Boeing Stearman model 75 series aircraft were built between 1936 and 1945 as military trainers.
8500 of these classic, lusty biplane warriors were produced with around 2000 still flying today.
After WWII hundreds of Stearmans were sold as surplus for between $200 and $500 each.
The Stearman remains an enduring icon of US aviation heritage.
