O2 Dog - Your Dog Deserves Oxygen Treatments Too

A rare piece of history is up for auction at eBay. It’s a Beechcraft AT-11 aircraft, which was deployed as a bombardier or gunnery trainer by the U.S. Army Air Corps and the Navy. It was further used by China and the Netherlands as a light bomber. Looking like a baby B-25, the aircraft on auction is claimed to be the sole survivor among the 24 AT-11’s on lend/lease to the Netherlands during World War II. The original unconverted craft has glass nose and turret along with the port hole windows and small oval door.
The plane has been with the current owner for the last 12 years and is painted in its original Royal Netherlands East Indian Air Force colors. The starting bid for the rare aircraft is US $132,000 while the ‘Buy it Now’ price is US $189,700. Bidding for the Beechcraft AT-11 ends on August 6. It could be the best thing for the aviation buffs to live their bomber pilot fantasies.
