THE HARVARD WAS BUILT BY THE CANADIAN CAR & FOUNDRY CO., AND WAS A COPY OF THE FAMOUS NORTH AMERICAN AT-6 WHICH WAS USED BY MANY AIR FORCES AROUND THE WORLD. IT WAS DESIGNED AS AN ADVANCED TRAINER, BUT WAS USED FOR LIGHT ATTACK, PHOTOGRAPHY, SPOTTING, AND SOMETIMES AS A SQUADRON "TAXI." ON SEPTEMBER 28, 1938 THE FIRST HARVARD MKIV WAS FLOWN. THE VERY LAST MODEL WAS THE HARVARD MKIV AND THIS IS THE LAST ONE MANUFACTURED, SERIAL no.270. THE ORIGINAL HARVARDS WERE POWERED BY PRATT & WHITNEY 1340 CUBIC INCH ENGINES, DEVELOPING 600 H.P. THIS HARVARD IS MODIFIED WITH A 1000 H.P. WRIGHT 1820 ENGINE WITH A 2 SPEED SUPERCHARGER AND 3-BLADE PROPELLER. EIGHT FEET HAS BEEN CLIPPED FROM THE WING, AND IT HAS A FULLY RETRACTABLE TAILWHEEL. IT ALSO HAS A FLUSH RIVETED CENTER SECTION, SMALLER WHEELS, AND SPOT BRAKES. EMPTY WEIGHT REMAINS VIRTUALLY THE SAME AS A STOCK HARVARD, 4300 LBS. THE PERFORMANCE INCREASE IS DRAMATIC. IT WILL BECOME AIRBORNE IN 6 SECONDS, WITH A MAXIMUM RATE OF CLIMB OF 3800 F.P.M., CRUISE AT 250 MPH, WITH A TOP SPEED OF 300 MPH! ACCELERATION ON TAKEOFF IS SUPERIOR TO MOST ALL WWII PROPELLER DRIVEN FIGHTERS AND MAKES A PERFECT TRANSITIONAL TRAINER FOR PILOTS UPGRADING TO A SINGLE SEAT FIGHTER.
