North American NA-16
Curtiss Hawk 75 H
The North American Aviation NA-16 was the first trainer aircraft built by North American Aviation, Inc. and was the beginning of a line of North American trainer aircraft that would number more than 17,000 examples.
Developed into North American BT-9
T-6 Texan
North American P-64
CAC Wirraway
The NA-16 was a single engine, low-wing monoplane with tandem seating in open cockpits and fixed landing gear. A Wright Whirlwind radial air-cooled engine of 400 hp powered the aircraft. While it was mostly of metal construction, the rear fuselage was fabric covered.
The NA-16 flew for the first time on 1 April 1935, and was submitted to the United States Army Air Corps for evaluation as a basic trainer. The Army accepted the trainer for production but with some significant changes. These changes included replacing the Wright engine with a Pratt & Whitney R-1340, and enclosing the cockpits as well as fairing the landing gear. The modified NA-16 was re-designated by North American as the NA-18, with production examples entering Air Corps service as the North American BT-9 (NA-19).
In Australia, the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation produced 755 units of a modified version of the NA-16 known there as the Wirraway between 1939 and 1946.
Two NA-16 trainers were supplied to the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service for evaluation, designated KXA1 and KXA2, in 1938.

Curtiss Hawk 75
In search of a replace to the existing Dewoitine D.21 C-1, the Direccion General de Aeronautica opens a contest for its successor. After view various candidates (Dewoitine D.371/D.500, Curtiss Hawk III/IV, Vought V-143, Seversky 2PA), the Direccion finally, in January 1938, inclines for the Curtiss 75-0, 30 examples of which are requested and acquired the license of construction by other 20 in the factory of Cordoba. These machines possessed more powerful engine than the Hawk 75 H, they utilized a Wright Cyclone GR-1820 G5 engine of 1000 hp at 2200 rpm, and take a radio-transmitter Telefunken. The armament was composed of danish Madsen machine guns, two of 7,65 mm. in the wings, and one of 7,65 mm. and another of 11,35 mm. in the engine hood; the interior bomb load capacity was 136 kg. The 30 machines acquired to Curtiss arrived at the country among November 29 and December 30 1938, while the first machine manufactured locally was delivered in 16 August 1940. These machines went into service next to the Hawk III, available in three Regimientos de Caza (Hunting Groups) of the Regimiento Aéreo (Air Regiment) Nº 2 of the Comando de Aviación del Ejército (Army Aviation Command) among January 1939 and September 4 1944, date in which the CAE (Army Aviation Command) became the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (Argentine Air Force). The last machines were regroup in 1949 in the Group I and II from the IV Brigada Aérea (Air Brigade). Their last assignment was the unfold in the Newbery Airport in June 1955, because the rebellion against the national Government.
Painting and Markings
Initially the machines were registered since the 601 to the 650, and they maintained the natural metal without painting, except the control surfaces, that upon being fabric covered, they went painted aluminum colour. The antiglare panel, as well as the markings, went painted in black; the same went in the fuselage and in the four positions of the wings: the right of the lower side of wing read itself since the cockpit, while the left was it since ahead, being invested for the upper side of wing. The machines of the group and squadron commanders were identified by a red band behind the cockpit. After June 1943 the airplanes were painted in Olive Drab (Humbrol 30) and Light Blue (Humbrol 65). Now the markings is in white, went preceded by a "C", and was located in the wing attack edge, nose and tail, with a small argentine flag, all this was repeated on the other side of the airplane. The national insignia were always maintained in the six habitual positions. Among 1941 and 1942 some of the Hawk was painted with a black, blue or red band behind the cockpit for identification of airplanes of the same squadron. In 1944 experienced with olive green or dark green colors for the upper surfaces, without any tactical markings, alone conserved the national insignia in the rudder. Since 1945 the propeller blades were painted all in black, with the extremes in yellow.

The Avro Type 694, better known as the Avro Lincoln, was a British four-engined heavy bomber, which first flew on 9 June 1944. Developed from the Avro Lancaster, the first Lincoln variants were known initially as the Lancaster IV and V, but were renamed Lincoln I and II. It was the last piston-engined bomber used by the Royal Air Force.
The Lincoln became operational in August 1945, too late to see action in the Second World War. It was assigned to units of Tiger Force, a British Commonwealth heavy bomber force, intended to take part in Allied operations against the Japanese mainland. However, the Lincoln did see action with the RAF during the 1950s, in the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya and with the RAF and RAAF during the Malayan Emergency.
In all 604 Lincolns were built. The type also saw significant service with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and Fuerza Aérea Argentina (Argentine Air Force), as well as some civil aviation usage.

The Lincoln became operational in August 1945, too late to see action in the Second World War.

The Bristol Type 170 Freighter was a British twin-engine aircraft designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company as both a freighter and airliner, although its best known use is as an air ferry to carry cars and their passengers over relatively short distances.
In military service Bristol Freighters were operated by the air forces of Argentina, Australia, Burma, Canada, Iraq, Pakistan and New Zealand. Bristol Freighters were operated briefly by the Pakistan Air Force. Some of their aircraft were bought by SAFE Air and used in New Zealand.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force ordered 12 Mk 31M Freighters in the late 1940s. RNZAF Freighters ranged as far as supplying the New Zealand Army in Malaya, the British High Commissions (and other support staff) in the Maldives, Ceylon, India and Nepal, performing FEAF tasks in Malaya (often when other aircraft types were unservicable due to maintenance problems) and Hong Kong. They ran a highly reliable military shuttle service for allies in Thailand during the Vietnam War and served several other roles, being adapted for - amongst other things - aerial top dressing experiments, although, to avoid competition with private enterprise, the NZ government did not use them in that role.

Canberra Mk 62
The English Electric Canberra is a first-generation jet-powered light bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s. It proved to be highly adaptable, serving in such varied roles for tactical bombing, photographic, electronic, and meteorological reconnaissance. The Canberra remained in service with the Royal Air Force until 23 June 2006, 57 years after its first flight.
The Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber through the 1950s and set a world altitude record of 70,310 ft (21,430m) in 1957.
The Argentine Air Force received 10 B 62 and two T 64 trainers at the beginning of the 1970s. During the 1982 Malvinas/Falklands War, eight of them were deployed to Trelew, (a distance of 670 mi (1,080 km) from the islands) to avoid congestion on the closer southern airfields.
From 1 May to 14 June, they made 54 sorties, 36 of them bombing missions, of which 22 were at night against ground troops. Two aircraft were lost, one to a RN Sea Harrier using a AIM9L Sidewinder Air-to-air missile fired by Lt Curtiss 801 Naval Air Squadron on 1 May 1982, (Lt. Ibanez and Lt. Gonzalez ejected but were not rescued, while a second Canberra was damaged) and another, (B-108 see photo) to a Sea Dart missile on 13 June fired by HMS Cardiff. The pilot, Capt. Pastran, ejected safely but Capt. Casado was killed. This was the last Argentine aircraft to be lost in combat during the Falklands War. Argentina retired its last Canberras in April 2000.

Survivors models
Argentine Air Force received 27 Model 139W/WAA aircraft.
The only surviving complete B-10 is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. The aircraft is painted as a B-10 used in the 1934 Alaskan Flight. It was an export version sold to Argentina in 1938.
The aircraft survived as a ground crew trainer, and was still being used by the Argentine Air Force for training its ground crews as late as the 1960s. The Air Force Museum conducted an exhaustive search for any surviving B-10 remains, and eventually learned of the aircraft. In 1970, the incomplete airframe was donated by the Government of Argentina to the U.S. Government in a formal ceremony attended by the U.S. ambassador.
The aircraft was restored by the 96th Maintenance Squadron (Mobile), Air Force Reserve, at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, in 1973-1976, and placed on display in 1976.
