The Stearman Aircraft Company produced a bi-plane trainer-aircraft called the Model 70. In
1935 the USN ordered the Model 70 with a Wright J-5 Whirlwind engine designated the
NS-1. Boeing Aircraft Company bought Stearman and gave the Model 70 a Lycoming R-680-5
radial engine making it a Model 75. In 1936 the U.S. Army Air Corps placed an order for the
Model 75 and designated it PT-13. With a Continental R-670-5 engine it became the PT-17.
The RCAF labeled it PT-27 Kaydet with Kaydet becoming the universally accepted name.

Boeing Stearman PT-27 c/n 75-2180 was manufactured in Witchita, Kansas in 1942. FK107
was one of the last of 300 aircraft to the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan but because
of the open cockpits they were deemed unsuitable for winter training. These air craft were
only used the summer of 1942. This aircraft can be seen at the Canadian Warplane Heritage
Museum in Mount Hope (Hamilton) Ontario, Canada. It actually is a PT-17 painted as FK107
to represent the last open-cockpit PT-27 supplied to the BCATP.
