Notes:
Equipped with extended wingtips, simulated dive brakes, landing gear fairings and a reshaped vertical stabilizer, the museum’s BT-13A, serial number 41-1306 was modified to depict an Imperial Japanese Navy Type 99 Aichi D-3A1 "Val" dive-bomber for the 1970 Academy Award winning film “Tora, Tora, Tora.” “Val’s” carry the distinction of dropping the first bomb on Pearl Harbor during the December 7, 1941 surprise attack and of having sunk more Allied ships than any other Axis aircraft during the Second World War.
