2000s WW2 Vultee BT-13 Valiant Basic Trainer

Celebrate the aircraft that trained a generation of American pilots with this collectible postcard featuring the Vultee BT-13 Valiant Basic Trainer.

The Vultee BT-13 Valiant was a two-seat basic trainer used extensively by the U.S. Army Air Forces, Navy, and Marine Corps during World War II. Designed to prepare cadets for more advanced combat aircraft, the Valiant played a crucial role in building the air power that would help win the war.

Produced in greater numbers than any other basic trainer of its time, more than 11,000 aircraft were built between 1940 and 1944. Its steady handling and dependable performance made it a familiar sight at training fields across the United States.

Often simply called the “Valiant,” this aircraft represents the foundation of wartime aviation training, where thousands of future combat pilots first earned their wings.

This vintage-style photochrome lithograph postcard captures the historic trainer in classic detail. Produced as a collectible reproduction, it would look wonderful framed or make an excellent addition to any World War II aviation collection.
