    Check out these online training videos from the 1940s. (And be sure to take a look at some of his other offerings - it's not everyday we get to see a De Havilland Mosquito's operating instructions)

    Zenos is a great site - I have many of these training videos and collect reprints of WW2 military aircraft pilot manuals. I was at the RAF Duxford Museum last week and made a bit of a haul with manuals for the Hurricane, Spit and Me-109.

    Although Zenos only advertises one SNJ and Stearman video, there actually exists for both planes a complete series of videos with everything from the walk-around to advanced aerobatics. I can tell you from having owned an SNJ, these training films are quite excellent and I have watched them over and over. While it does not replace hands on training, the SNJ series would greatly shorten one's checkout time and add a lot to the instruction if studied beforehand.
