Please forgive the paywall, but the Financial Times has an article about how WWII era training planes are popular:

Harvard education: why 1940s trainer planes are taking off again
‘Pilot-makers’ are an excellent entry into second world war aircraft, and investment pieces in their own right

Over 20,100 Harvards were built, nearly 3,400 of them in Canada.

The RCAF used the Harvard as its advanced fighter trainer from 1941 to 1966:

That Harvard is a good looking classic trainer. I would like to have one.

Edit Note: Thought it best to post a pic of a Harvard so readers will know what we are discussing without going to the link.
