The Howard DGA-18 was an American two-seat basic training aircraft designed and built by the Howard Aircraft Corporation for the United States Civil Pilot Training Program. [1]
The United States' Civilian Pilot Training Program resulted in high demand for both primary and advanced training aircraft, and in an attempt to take advantage of this demand, the DGA-18 was designed, with the first example flying in October 1940. [2] [3] The DGA-18 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with two tandem open cockpits and a fixed conventional landing gear. The aircraft was built in three variants with different engines fitted. [1]
