Primary Flight Training with the Stearman PT-13-17 N2S Kaydet: Taxiing & Take-off
I've seen some beautiful Stearmans at airshows doing jaw dropping aerobatics. This film is still a good introduction to taxiing and take-offs.
This series of basic flight training films was produced and directed for the US Navy by actor and Hollywood legend Robert "Bob" Taylor, who starred in over 80 films including "Waterloo Bridge," "Bataan" and "Billy the Kid." Taylor was a Lieutenant in the USNR and an active flight instructor during the War, and it shows in this comprehensive presentation. The films also give plenty of insights into a war time flight school, punctuated by humorous vignettes, illustrations and animations. The other star of these films is the beloved Stearman N2S biplane trainer, aka "The Yellow Peril." This sweet handling ship was the first step up into the sky for tens of thousands of pilots during World War II, and many are still flown to this day by it's legion of loyal fans. You'll get to know the Stearman inside & out!

Beautiful airplanes. I'm setting up to build a 1/4 scale RC model of a Stearman P-17. Believe it or not, some of the "real" flight instruct actually translates into RC flying. Great video.
This was fun :) Found it after publishing my Stearman training video tonight, and this one was recommended beside it :)

How funny, I found this video thanks to your video! Thanks for being a great recourse for us young guys to get into warbird flying! Gotta keep em flyin’ through the generations!
I learned to fly a Stearman at the U of I in 1961. What a lot of fun. Tough little plane. Had to be since I was doing full stall landings from 10 ft above the field in the beginning.
Brilliant, nothing has changed since the 40s
Great video. It has been years since I have flown in a Stearman. I will never forget the thrill of flying in a Stearman!

My Dad was a flight instructor and flew the Stearman and Ryan PT-22. Mostly based in Tucson AZ and Biloxi Miss.
I had the opportunity to fly in a Stearman at Dillingham airfield in Hawaii great fun.
McDribble...is that George "Alfalfa" Schweitzer?
Great and very instructive film for beginners!
And just think you could have bought one for $150 after the war. That's a brand new one. Used for $75.
