WW2 US Army Navy – LANDING GEAR DATA PLATE – BOEING PT-17 N2S STEARMAN KAYDET

You are bidding on an EXCELLENT example of a WW2 US Army / Navy Aircraft Landing Gear Data Plate, as removed from the Lower Strut Cover of a Boeing PT-17 (N2S) Stearman “Kaydet” primary trainer!

The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is an American biplane formerly used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman, or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS and N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II.

Made of Phenol / Plastic, this Data Label is a SUPERB piece of aviation history! Though it does feature marks and scratches, it is still in AMAZING condition, and retains 95% of it’s original paint and finish!It is clearly marked:
