Fairchild XAT-14 Yankee
Doodle
This was the early prototype of
the
Fairchild AT-21 Gunner, powered by two 520
h.p. Ranger
V-770-6 engines. Both it and
the radial powered XAT-13 used Fairchild's unique 'Duramold"
construction,
and were known as the "Yankee Doodle". Originally designed as
bombing trainers,
most production
AT-21s were eventually used in the gunnery training role.
The single XAT-14
was assigned the USAAF serial number 41-19503 although this had yet to
be applied in the Fair-
child photo seen
above.
