Summary
| Description | A U.S. Navy Culver TD2C-1 target drone (BuNo 69547) flown by naval aviator Jack V. Robinson in flight, circa in 1945. In 1940, the U.S. Army Air Corps drew up a requirement for a radio-controlled target drone for training anti-aircraft artillery gunners. The first aircraft in a series of target drones was a modification of the Culver LFA Cadet which eventually led to the PQ-14 series used throughout World War II and beyond. 1,198 were transferred to the U.S. Navy, which designated them as TD2C-1 with the decidedly unattractive name Turkey. |
