Key Features:

• Authentic WWII Relic: Original fabric skin from a Stearman Kaydet biplane, never before available in collectors’ circulation.
  Taken from the mid-fuselage including the American Star
• Professionally Framed: Mounted in a durable black metal frame (55" x 22"), designed to hang horizontally or vertically or stand upright.
• Certificate of Authenticity: Includes a signed COA by military artist Craig Tinder, ensuring the artifact’s provenance.
• History: Built in 1943, PT-13D 42-17163 served with the USAAF as a military trainer until the late 1950s. In 1964, 42-17163 was purchased by a private party and received the registration number N4813V. During a complete restoration in the late 1990s, the fabric skin was replaced during the overhaul. This relic fragment of aircraft skin came from the starboard fuselage side just aft of the lower wing.

About the Stearman Kaydet PT-13D:
The Stearman Kaydet was an essential trainer for military pilots during the 1930s and 1940s, with over 10,000 aircraft produced. Its reliability and effectiveness made it a cornerstone of pilot training, with aviators required to solo in the Kaydet before earning their wings. After its military service, the Stearman transitioned to civilian life, taking on roles in crop dusting, aerobatics, and sport flying. This versatility cemented its legacy as a critical piece of aviation and military history.

This framed relic, sourced directly from the original aircraft, offers a rare opportunity to connect with the legacy of this iconic biplane. Whether for display or as a conversation piece, it’s an extraordinary way to own a tangible piece of history.
