Have you ever heard of a Beech AT-10 a/k/a a Beech Model 26?

 From what I can find, these ships apparently were  designed as an advanced, multi-engine trainer that could be easily manufactured on a large scale.  To conserve scarce metals needed for combat aircraft, Beech built the airframe out of plywood with only the engine cowlings and cockpit enclosure constructed of aluminum.

 Beech’s use of wood permitted them to subcontract the production of many components to furniture makers and other firms.  Over half of the U.S. Army Air Force's pilots received transitional training from single- to multi-engine aircraft in them – yet none are flying today.

 A good friend of mine is involved in the restoration of an AT-10. When they are finished it will be the only one flying.  My question is, do you know of anyone who has any parts for the AT-10?   Between 1941 and 1943, Beech built 1,771 AT-10s and Globe Aircraft  built 600 in Dallas, Texas.  So, there must be some of parts and pieces still around.

 If you know of materials related to the AT-10 let us know!
