This trainer was designed as the AT-11 by the U.S. Army Air Forces and the SNB-1 by the U.S. Navy during World War II.
The AT-11 was intended for the specialized training of bombardiers and air-gunners. Equipped with flexible bomb racks and guns, the aircraft could carry an instructor and as many as three students, depending on the instructional mission.

Similar to the Beechcraft Expeditor C-45 (military version of the Beech 18) in general design, the AT-11/SNB-1 has a modified fuselage with transparent nose. The wings, tail unit and landing gear of the twin-engine trainer, however, are identical to the C-45
