Book excerpt: One of the more popular 'Warbirds' seen at airshows, the T-28 Trojan was both America's front-line trainer, preparing thousands of pilots for jet flight, as well as a serious combat aircraft used by many nations, including the U.S. during its involvement in Vietnam. Stubby and unglamorous in appearance, the Trojan was a superb performer in the air, the ideal platform from which to train new pilots as well as fly missions over the jungles of southeast Asia. Genat provides excellent photographic coverage as well as a nuts and bolts examination of the physical and flying characteristics of this famous aircraft.
