Crazymainer US Navy Quiz #7

Did some research…again !!!

The hard part of your quiz with the last aircraft was the fact that Curtiss and Martin produced this aircraft. Douglas only designed and made the DT-2.

Martin called it the SC-1

Curtiss called it the CS-1

The whole time I was looking under Douglas. I didn’t think to look to other manufacturers for producing the same model.

Guess it’s like Vought and Goodyear for the Corsair.

Thanks for that, CM.

Was going stircrazy !! 😀

Anyhow, I knew it was a derivative of the DT-2, the family resemblance is definitely there.

BRING ON # 8

tnz….. 🙂

Dun Dun Dun dun……….

OK Guys and gals,

Big Drum Roll for your s truely I finally stump TNZ,

The Douglas is a SC-1 Scout Bomber and Torpedo Aircraft originally design by Douglas but build by build by Curtis and Martin Curtis build 8 while Martin build 75.

The airframe was based on the Douglas DT.

Hey TNZ don’t feel to bad Buddy Macon Dep. Director of the Naval Air Musuem couldn’t even get it. 😮

If you have a good look at the rear section notice the window and gun position.

So are you ready for #8 because if you think this was hard I have a doosy all set up for everyone 😮 :diablo:

Cheers Crazymainer

Well, I”ve totally exhausted my US Navy Douglas Biplane research….
I give up !!!
(I hate saying that…. :rolleyes: )

What is the Douglas Biplane, CM ?

TNZ

Now the last one

…I look on the ground and see a pile of hair around me. That’s from where I’ve been tearing it out…. 😮

Curtiss A-1. That’s what I believe it is.

I’ll research some MORE on the Douglas Biplane…

TNZ

OK TNZ,

You got the Curtis now for the Douglas, are you sure you want #8 because I have something special all set up for you guys 😮

Cheers Crazymainer

TNZ

OK TNZ,

You have the answer for the Curtis but which one are you going to stay with, as for the Douglas its was used for three types of roles

OK Guys and gals,

Still waiting on the exact ID of the Curtis and the Douglas.

Now who’s going to get them, I guess the alot of you are tiring of my litle US Navy stuff sorry don’t ahve any early Brit stuff 🙁

Cheers Crazymainer

Hi Dakota2,

Refer to my earlier post. It was designated an F11C.
The P6E was a USAAC derivative with an inline engine. Very different aircraft.

Cheers
TNZ 🙂

Ok Guys,

Dakota welcome and yep you get the Curtis XBF2C-1 can anyone nam,e it original Desugnation.

Now that leaves the last Douglas build product.

Also I’m going to have special one for #8 :diablo:

Cheers Crazymainer

Can the original Designation for the XBF2C-1 be “P6-E”?
great stuff
dakota2 :confused:

TNZ,

Oh so close with the Curtiss. 😮 :diablo:

Cheers Crazymainer

Actually after photoshopping the pic a little, it looks more like a Curtiss A-1.

& also…..

# 5 ….Douglas OD-1 ?????

TNZ 🙂

It originally came out with fixed undercarriage, but the US Navy were so impressed with Grumman’s layout that Curtiss installed it inot the Goshawk. It increased the top speed from 205mph to 216mph.
However the Goshawk suffered from structual weaknesses and was retired in 1934 (2 year life span).

Hope you guys found this interesting.

TNZ

From what I’ve read it’s a Curtiss BF2C-1 or F11C Goshawk. 🙂
Both designations were applicable.

TNZ

1st picture is Curtiss Hawk III. O.K.?

Nope, Nope, Nope

I reckon it’s a Curtiss AH-1 as it looks like a Hydro ski one from the photo.
AH-1 is a A-1 but with hydroski mods.

The Triad was an amphibian.

mmm,…that Douglas one…..mmm… :confused:
Still workin’ on it…

Now that leaves the last Douglas build product.

Cheers Crazymainer

TNZ

Ok Dakota2…………

Ah bu88er…..you’re right…!!!
Just had another look. The rudder is too square.

More of a Curtiss product.
I’ll go along with Dakota2 on the BF2C-1.
Last of the biplanes fighters for the US Navy and featured retractable undercart into the fuselage like the Grumman products.
Beautiful aircraft and would be nice to see one fly again..!!

Alrighties…will keep researching the Douglas one though..

TNZ
