North American NA-50 Replica

The North American NA-50 was developed in the late 1930s as a low cost export fighter. Six were sold to Peru, who used them during a brief conflict with Ecuador. Further development of the NA-50 became the P-64. A number of these were ordered for Thailand (then Siam) but were never delivered because of the outbreak of WWII. They ended up being relegated to training duties in the United States. The NA-50s roots trace back to the NA-16, which became the T-6/SNJ/Harvard. This NA-50 is a modified Harvard IV that was built in Canada in 1952.
