            first aircraft was the PT-1 based on the Dayton-Wright
            TW-3.  The major changes were a change from side-by-side
            seating to tandem seating and the inclusion of a Wright E engine.
             The first PT-1 flew in 1923.  A sturdy and
            reliable aircraft, it acquired the nickname "Trusty". 
            Both the U.S. Army and Navy used this aircraft as
            a trainer.  Derivatives flew into the early 1930s.  |
