Starting in 1947, the Command of (Argentine) Naval Aviation (COAN) acquired a total of 94 North American AT-6A/B/C/ and SNJ-3/4 Texans and 30 SNJ-5C, and they remained in service until 1970. The majority was assigned to the Training (and General Purpose) and Light Attack Squadrons, and a number served as advanced trainers on board of the aircraft carrier ARA Independencia (V-1). They could be armed with one or two Browning M2 machine guns (in pods), and one or two 100kg bombs. Regardless of the sub-variant, all were painted in overall silver finish, and some had their spinners painted in red. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
