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.
