Suggested caption for this photo: The Ryan Model ST-3KR, U.S. Army Air Corps PT-22 Recruit, evolved out of the design of the popular Ryan ST or “Sport Trainer.” It incorporated refinements that resulted in a rugged and easy to maintain military trainer. The Recruit was a wire-braced, low-winged monoplane, with open cockpit seating for two in tandem. This handsome two-seater was used in training schools throughout the country. Ryan training schools alone trained more than 14,000 pilots for the Army Air Corps. At the peak of activity in the fall of 1943, more than 1,200 cadets were training at Ryan schools in Hemet, California and Tucson, Arizona. Many of these students were trained in the Recruit. The Navy version of the trainer was designated as the NR-1. (SDASM)
