PT designates it as a Primary Trainer, pilots transitioned from it to Basic Trainers like the BT13
and then to the Advanced Trainers like the AT6 for fighter pilots.
While the bomber pilots went to a twin engine Advanced Trainer like the UC78
When I used to hang out at a small local airfield my friends had a PT22, it was fun to fly but it did have a reputation for being a bit quirky.
In fact it was a PT22 that killed a guy I knew back in the late 70's or early 80's.
