North American T-28 Trojan

The T-28 was the first post-war advanced trainer produced in quantity for training pilots for high-speed jet aircraft. Nearly 2,000 of these fine trainers were built before production ended in 1957. With the advent of the war in South Vietnam, the T-28 was given a new lease on life when it proved to be an effective counter-insurgency aircraft against enemy forces operating in the dense tropical jungle. Flown by Vietnamese pilots, the T-28 usually also carried an American advisor-observer on these combat missions.
