Stinson AT-19B / Reliant Mk III

The Reliant III At-19B aircraft operated by the museum was designed for use in aerial photography and observation and was built during WWII. The plane is occasionally flown by museum members, and is lovingly referred to as “a dump truck with wings” due to its slow maneuvering and large size.

The museum’s AT-19B, number FB-684 and nicknamed “London Nights”, served through the end of WWII in the Fleet Air Arm at Piarco, Trinidad. It served as an aerial photography reconnaissance platform and a sub-chaser. It’s sister aircraft, FK-845, served in the same unit and can be seen at museum fly-in’s and the South Plains Air Show. The sister plane belongs to Texas Air Museum member Randy Rogers and Telefilm, Inc.
