This is a repaint only for Alphasim's Texan/Harvard. This aircraft, "Double Vee," is the only authentic, fully restored aircraft in existence that was once used by the Tuskegee Airmen. During WWII its roll was to train the Tuskegee Airmen in the methods of aerial combat maneuvering and gunnery, this coming before graduated kadets would transfer to the P-47 and P-51 as members of the 332nd FG. The aircraft, now owned by Steve Cowell, has been fully restored and painted in its original markings it wore while in service as an advanced fighter pilot trainer at Tuskegee, Alabama. The name "Double Vee" comes from the historic campaign waged during World War Two for African-Americans. It stood for a double, uncompromised victory - a victory abroad against the Axis powers and a victory at home against prejudice. Repaint is based on Alphasim's paintkit.
