In Guinea the T-6/Harvard/SNJ series of armed trainers was routinely used for interdiction, fire support, naval and ground escort, airborne command and control, and armed reconnaissance. By the mid-1960s, however, they had already proven vulnerable to even light surface fire. Consequently, when the first Fiat G.91s arrived in mid-1966, the FAP’s T-6s were relegated to missions deemed less threatening. This T-6, FAP 1975, carries a Browning 7.7mm machine gun and a 50-litre napalm canister under each wing. (Artwork by Paulo Alegria)
