	Seversky P-35 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately, USAAC regulations required that the engine of a trainer must be limited to 400 horsepower (300 kW), and the BT-8 was powered by a Pratt and Whitney R-985-11 radial engine rated at 400 horsepower (300 kW).
		It had fixed landing gear with spats, and was armed with a 7.62 mm (0.30 in) and a 12.7 mm (0.50 in) Browning machine gun firing through the prop, plus a 7.62 mm machine gun on a rearward-facing hand-held mount for use by the back-seater.
		The P-35's performance was poor even by contemporary standards, and although USAAC fliers appreciated the P-35's ruggedness, the aircraft was already obsolescent by the time deliveries were finished.

	USAAC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		USAAC is a private, non-sectarian, non-profit, non-commercial constitutional civics school.
		USAAC is not open to the general public.
		The goals of USAAC is to produce an educated Citizenry which will have the tools and capacity to understand how our government was originally intended to work, how it has been corrupted by powerful influences over the past 200 years, and how to go about changing it through lawful means.

	.:: AT-6D TEXAN / HARVARD III ::.
		A year after the BT-9 entered service, the USAAC issued Circular Proposal 37-220 calling for a combat training aircraft that could carry armament and equipment similar to that found in operational aircraft and also duplicate their handling characteristics.
		In recognition of the aircraft's intended role as a combat trainer, provision was made for 0.3 in Colt-Browning machine guns to be mounted in the nose cowling and wings as well as on a flexible mount in the rear cockpit.
		Construction of the AT-6 and Harvard series began at the new factory with the aircraft produced there (with the exception of the Harvard) being given the name Texan, a name that was later applied to the aircraft built in Inglewood as well.

	Republic P-47 - ArtPolitic Encyclopedia of Politics : Information Portal
		Unfortunately, USAAC regulations required that the engine of a trainer must be limited to 400 horsepower, and the BT-8 was powered by a Pratt and Whitney (PandW) R-985-11 radial rated at 400 horsepower.
		It had fixed landing gear with spats, and was armed with a 7.62 millimeter (0.30 caliber) and a 12.7 millimeter (0.50 caliber) Browning machine gun firing through the prop, plus a 7.62 millimeter machine gun on a rearward-facing hand-held mount for use by the back-seater.
		However, by the spring of 1940, as the war in Europe moved into high gear, Republic and the USAAC began to realize that the XP-44 and the XP-47 were not good enough to deal with current German fighters.

	The Martin B-26 Marauder
		The USAAC evaluated the Martin bomber under the designation of "XB-907A", and after a number of changes and refinements a contract for 48 of the aircraft was issued in early 1933.
		The Martin 167, or "XA-22" as the USAAC called it, first flew in March 1939, and was evaluated against competitors such as the North American NA-40, which would become the B-25 Mitchell, and the Douglas DB-7, which would become the A-20 Havoc.
		The USAAC's first line medium bombers were the B-10 and the Douglas B-18 Bolo, both of which were clearly obsolescent and not up to the modern combat environment.

	United States Army Accessions Command - USAAC
		The U.S. Army Accessions Command (USAAC) was established by general order on 15 February 2002.
		It is a subordinate command of TRADOC charged with providing integrated command and control of the recruiting and initial military training for the Army's officer, warrant officer, and enlisted forces.
		Designed to meet the human resource needs of the Army from first handshake to first unit of assignment, the command transforms volunteers into soldiers and leaders for the Army.

	The North American B-25 Mitchell
		The NA-21 was flown to the USAAC test facility at Wright Field, Ohio, in March 1937, for competitive evaluation.
		The NA-40B was flown to Wright Field for USAAC evaluation, but on 11 April 1939 the aircraft lost one engine and spun into the ground.
		The USAAC was sufficiently impressed with the design to sign a preliminary contract for 184 aircraft with NAA in September 1939, even though the machine hadn't been flown.

	North American PBJ Mitchell
		In 1938, the six USAAC attack squadrons based in the U.S. were flying the Northrop A-17, a single-engine aircraft with a top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h) and a bomb load of 654 pounds (297 kg).
		To meet their obligation to provide close air support (CAS) for the infantry, the USAAC issued requirements for a new twin-engined light bomber with a range of 1,200 miles (1,930 km), the ability to carry a 1,200 pound (544 kg) bomb load and to be used exclusively in the attack mode.
		The USAAC issued Air Corps Proposal Number 39-640 on 11 March 1939 for a medium bomber with a bomb load of 3,000 pounds (1,361 kg), a range of 2,000 miles (3,219 km) and a top speed over 300 mph (483 km/h).

	[No title]
		By the mid-1930s, the U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC), superseded by the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 20 June 1941, was ordering all-metal, single-engine, monoplane attack and pursuit aircraft with enclosed cockpits to replace the fabric-covered, open cockpit biplanes of the 1920s.
		For the first time, USAAC and USN aircraft could be built with standardized equipment, e.g., engines, propellers, communications equipment, pressure pumps, pipe fittings, nuts, bolts, etc. This became the Army-Navy (AN) standard.
		This aircraft was the first in the series to be equipped with the standardized 600 hp (447 kW) Pratt and Whitney R-1340-AN-1 radial engine used in all later models, a Hamilton Standard two-bladed constant-speed propeller, removable fuel tanks in the wing center section, a triangular shaped vertical fin and rudder, and blunt wingtips.

		Although Republic had already developed a more advanced version known as the P-44, all types that had been ordered were cancelled in September 1940 in favor of a more advanced design which was to become the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt.
		While the P-47 was being developed, the USAAC ordered 54 P-43s and 80 P-44s, and 107 more examples were delivered to China.
		The P-43s and P-44s in USAAC service were considered unsuitable for combat operations, and all were converted for use as photo-reconnaissance aircraft.

	USAAC camouflage & markings 1926-1941
		This book is an excellent reference on aircraft camouflage and markings of the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) from 1926-1941 (just as the title relates) between the wars aircraft ('tweeners).
		Not only are there plenty of color profiles to show most of the different versions of the camo, there are also a lot of pictures of most (if not all) of the aircraft that flew for the USAAC during this time frame.
		One thing that is realised while perusing this book, is that there are a lot of USAAC 'tweeners that have yet to be brought out in model form.

		The USAAC, however, mandated that both the Hawk and P-35 use the Twin Wasp,, as the Cyclone was experiencing reliability problems.
		Although the Hawk was designed for the USAAC its only combat with that service was at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 when it scored the first US kills of the Pacific war.
		I believe the critical lapse was the failure to award the USAAC fighter contract to the Hawk in May 1935.

	P-47 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Both the XP-47 and XP-47A had insufficient engine power to accommodate the additional weight required by these features, and the USAAC came to the conclusion that these designs were likely to fall far short of future air combat requirements.
		The Army considered the XP-47 to be insufficiently armed, and thought that it had too high a wing loading and was too slow in comparison with the Curtiss XP-46.
		The USAAC was sufficiently impressed with the proposal that on September 6, 1940 ordered a prototype under the designation XP-47B.

		To meet its challenges, the USAAC turned to Sun iForce Partner Documentum, Inc., to provide secure enterprise content management with version control, life cycle management, and electronic signature capabilities—and the ability to meet the U.S. Department of Defense's stringent 5015.2 record-keeping certification standard.
		And the USAAC opted to run it all on Sun StorEdge arrays, including the Sun StorEdge 3960 system (recently upgraded to the Sun StorEdge 6320 system), Sun StorEdge L700 tape library, Sun StorEdge Availability Suite Software, and Sun StorEdge Utilization Suite Software with Sun StorEdge SAM-FS software.
		Wanting to keep TCO low and ensure that the USAAC team can make changes, integrate new applications, and manage the document management solution on its own, Bishop is engaging Sun and Documentum for training and mentoring focused on the transfer of intellectual capital.

		Officers within the USAAC were also favourably impressed, and Boeing received an order for thirteen Y1B-17 aircraft, with Wright Cyclone instead of Pratt and Whitney Hornet engines.
		Of course this was a source of rivalry between the USAAC and the US Navy, and the B-17 was one of the most important pawns in this battle.
		The USAAC was reluctant to part with so many of its scarce bombers, but on the other hand this was an opportunity to test the type in combat.

	The North American B-25 Mitchell
		In 1936, in response to a US Army Air Corps (USAAC) competition for a new medium bomber, NAA developed a twin-engine "tailsitter" aircraft designated the "NA-21", with the aircraft's first flight on 22 December 1936.
		The NA-21 had a bigger bomb load than a B-17, and although its defensive armament was light, consisting of five 7.62 millimeter (0.30 caliber) machine guns, it had the first hydraulically-operated gun turret to be used on a USAAC aircraft.
		The USAAC wanted a bomber that had a range of 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles), a maximum speed of 480 KPH (300 MPH), and a bomb load of 1,360 kilograms (3,000 pounds).

	The North American AT-6 - USA
		It therefore must be surmised the USAAC saw something in the NA-16 which wasn't evident in the test results, for they gave North American an order for 42 copies of the plane with minor modifications.
		Even during the USAAC competition, North American was hard at work on an export version of the Texan.
		By early 1939, the USAAC became aware that their Texan had grown up and could (in reality) no longer be classified as a "Basic" training aircraft.

		Another was the use of a new radiator design from Curtiss, that used the heated air exiting the radiator as a form of jet thrust.
		The USAAC could block any sales they considered interesting, and this appeared to be the case for the NA-73.
		At the same time the USAAC was becoming more interested in ground attack planes and had a new version ordered as the A-36 Apache which included two more 0.5 in (12.7 mm) guns, dive brakes, and could carry two 500 pound (230 kg) bombs.

		These 20 aircraft were assigned British serial numbers (AM910 to AM929) and the USAAC serial numbers were reassigned to the first 20 B-24D aircraft.
		Of the remaining 18 B-24A aircraft, 9 aircraft (S/N 40-2369 to 40-2377) were built and delivered to the USAAC as B-24A's.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt - Frans Bonné
		The USAAC liked the concept but wanted heavier firepower in the form of the 2 × 0.50 inch (12,7 mm) machine guns supplemented by 4 × 0.30 inch (7,62 mm) Browning machine guns in the wing leading edges.
		In September 1940 the USAAC decided that the revised AP-4L design offered considerably greater potential than the XP-47 and XP-47A, which were canceled so that Republic could concentrate on the rapid completion of the XP-47B prototype based on the revised AP-4L design.
		The USAAC then decided that the production version of the XP-47B was likely to offer performance of the level that would probably make the P-44 obsolete instantly and canceled the P-44 just days after the new orders were placed.

		Successful in the USAAC Pursuit Contest staged at Wright Field in May 1939, the P-40 was awarded what was then the largest single production contract for a fighter.
		The P-40 was further modified with an additional two.30 caliber wing-mounted machine guns, for a total of 4 with two.50 caliber weapons mounted over the engine and firing through the propeller, self-sealing fuel tanks and armor for the pilot.
