The Beechcraft T-34 Mentor is a propeller-driven, single-engined, military trainer aircraft derived from the successful civilian Beechcraft Bonanza. The T-34 began as a private venture by pioneer aviator Walter Herschel Beech, who developed it shortly after World War II, a time when there was no defense budget for a new trainer model. Beech hoped to sell it as an economical alternative to the North American T-6 Texan and felt that there was a market for a military trainer based on the Bonanza. It was not until late 1952, after a fly-off competition, that the T-34 was ordered into production by the United States Air Force (USAF). A total of 450 Mentors were built for the USAF.

Initial designs of the T-34 included the Bonanza's signature V- tail, but it was scrapped later on in favor of conventional tail control surfaces. The Bonanza's four- passenger cabin became a tandem seating cockpit and bubble canopy, which provided greater visibility for the trainee pilot and flight instructor. The aircraft had excellent and forgiving handling qualities, which provided students with the experience they required.

The Mentor made its maiden flight on December 2, 1948. After the Air Force put the T-34 into service as the T-34A Mentor, the US Navy (USN) followed in May 1955 with the T-34B. Both the T-34A and the T-34B utilized a conventional, piston-driven engine while the T-34C variant was turboprop-powered, in favor of an all- jet training regimen. Production of the T-34A ran from 1953 to 1956, and licensed versions were built in Canada, Argentina and Japan. A number of countries have purchased a variation of the T-34C model for use in forward air control and tactical strike roles.

From middle 1950s, and for more than 25 thereafter, the T-34 served as the basic trainer for the Armed Forces. There were many variants, including an assault version. The Mentor still serves in the air forces of at least 10 countries.
