Instead of being delivered to Thailand, the aircraft were taken over in October 1940 by the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) to keep them out of Japanese hands and redesignated A-27 under the USAAC aircraft designation system. Assigned to Nichols Field in the Philippines and used as a trainer, all A-27s were destroyed within a month during the Japanese invasion of that country during World War II.

Le North American NA-69 était la version d'attaque au sol du North American T-6 Texan, commandée principalement par la Thaïlande comme avion d'assaut léger. Les dix dernières unités construites furent rapidement récupérées par l'USAAC (et désignées A-27) pour ne pas qu'elles tombent entre les mains des forces d'invasion japonaises.
