The Fleetwings Model 36 was a plywood skinned aerial target which was given the military designation PQ-12A. It was powered by a Lycoming O-435 of 225 hp and could be manually flown for testing & evaluation when designated as the YPQ-12A (background). The protrusion hanging down from the right hand wing housed a TV camera that fed images to a mother-ship for remote guidance to intercept an enemy aircraft. In October 1943 the aircraft successfully downed a test drone over the Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range by detonating a 500 lb bomb housed under the cockpit fairing. Note that the last two digits of the serial on the tail have been crudely changed from "49" to "45".

Build as AT-6D for the USAAF as 42-85871 in 1944, converted to a SNJ-5C for the US Navy same year as 90654. Became N6438D in 1958 and converted again in 1968 to become Kate replica for the "Tora! Tora! Tora!" movie

ex USAAF serial 42-27609
