I think the T-50, AT-17 and the UC-78 are all the same basic airframe.

Yep ....all the same....and mostly always referred to as a Bamboo Bomber as it was mostly made of wood...with a welded steel tubing fuselage...all covered in fabric and powered by 2 Jacobs L4MBs of 245 HP each...not many left because of the wood construction and most sat outside after the WW II....the same basic Jacobs engine powers my Cessna 195....

“.the same basic Jacobs engine powers my Cessna 195”

Were some the 195’s “blown”? Were they also the same basic engine? Seems to me that some of the 195 series were a bit different than others re. their powerplant.
