Yea, it's no beauty queen. But it was judged to be better than the GRUMMAN TBF and over 1000 were ordered. During trials the prototype suffered an accident in simulated carrier hard landings which took over a month to repair, then it suffered a ground collision with another aircraft. VOUGHT really didn't have enough floor room to build them so Consolidated was chosen to build them but by then the TBF/TBM was in service. Except for a twist of fate and lousy timing, the skies of the Pacific could have been full of TBY's.
TBY! TBY! TBY! TBY!
I think we can end this thread now. The TBY Sea Wolf is obviously the most beloved warbird within the WIX community.
Tonight's bidding will open at $200,000. Do we have $250,000 ?
What!?! No Bohemian Rhapsody clip from Waynes World?????
