Howard DGA-18


The Howard DGA-18 was an American two-seat basic training aircraft designed and built by the Howard Aircraft Corporation for the United States Civil Pilot Training Program.

Design

The United States' Civilian Pilot [Training Program] resulted in high demand for both primary and advanced training aircraft, and in an attempt to take advantage of this demand, the DGA-18 was designed, with the first example flying in October 1940.
The DGA-18 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with two tandem open cockpits and a fixed conventional landing gear. The aircraft was built in three variants with different engines fitted.
