The North American Harvard was the most numerous single-engined advanced trainer ever used by the RCAF. Designed in the U.S for use as an advanced trainer, the Harvard and its derivatives was the aircraft of choice of many air forces before, during and after the Second World War. The Harvard was produced in large numbers in Canada during the conflict by Noorduyn. The artist who painted the original artwork was Robert J Banks. In 1943, Robert joined the RCNVR, then the RCAF, serving until discharged as a Pilot Officer, Bomb Aimer in December 1944. Rejoining the RCAF Primary Reserve in 1954, he served until retiring in 1966 as a Flight Lieutenant. After the war, Bob attended the Vancouver School of Art. A 62 year career in commercial art followed, where he did work for such firms as CP Air, Air Canada, BC Rail and BC Transit. L'aéronef North American Harvard était l'entraîneur avancé monomoteur le plus nombreux utilisé par l'ARC. Conçue aux États-Unis, le Harvard et ses dérivés étaient l'aéronef de choix pour plusieurs forces aériennes avant, durant et après la seconde guerre mondiale. Le Harvard a été produit en grande quantité au Canada par Noorduyn. L'artiste qui a peinturé la version originale est Robert J Banks. En 1943, Robert s'est joint à la réserve volontaire de la Marine royale canadienne et finalement l'ARC. Il a servi dans l'Aviation royale canadienne jusqu'à temps qu'il a été libéré en tant que bombardier et "Pilot Officer" en décembre 1944. Banks s'est rejoint à la réserve de l'ARC en 1954 jusqu'à sa retraite en 1966 lorsqu'il occupait le poste de "Flight Lieutenant". Après la guerre, Banks a étudié à l'école des arts de Vancouver. Il aura une carrière de 62 ans en art commerciale et il aura des projets pour plusieurs grandes compagnies, tel que CP Air, Air Canada, BC Rail et BC Transit.
