Just two of the 2,371 AT-10 twin-engine trainers constructed between 1942 and 1944 survive. The type was designed to be built using non-strategic materials with most of the aircraft including, remarkably the fuel tanks, made of plywood. This example, one of the 600 made under contract by Globe Aircraft, is actually 42-35143

To conserve scarce metals for combat aircraft, Beech built this trainer out of plywood with only the engine cowlings and cockpit enclosure made from aluminium. The fuel tanks also were made of wood and covered with the synthetic rubber, neoprene. The AT-10 had superior performance among twin engine trainers of its type and in which over half of the USAAFs pilots received transitional training from single- to multi-engine aircraft. The National Museum of the USAF placed this AT-10 on display in June 1997.
