The Blohm & Voss Ha 140 was a German multi-purpose seaplane first flown in 1937. It was intended for use as a torpedo bomber or long-range reconnaissance aircraft, but did not enter production.

Three prototypes were built and the design beat the competing Heinkel He 115. However, by then B&V did not have enough spare capacity and declined the order, which went to Heinkel instead.

The Douglas XSB2D-1 Destroyer was designed as a replacement for both the Douglas SBD Dauntless and the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver. Not long after its first flight on 8 April 1943, the US Navy requested a torpedo bomber be developed from the XSB2D-1. This resulted in the Douglas BTD Destroyer. Only 2 prototypes of the XSB2D-1 were built as the order was converted to BTD Destroyers instead. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/douglas-xsb2d-1-destroyer/ #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #DouglasXSB2D #DouglasDestroyer #TorpedoBomber #USNavy

The Blackburn Botha was a four-seat torpedo bomber built for the British Royal Air Force. Service testing showed that it was under-powered and had poor visibility. Consequently it was only used operationally by 608 Squadron before being withdrawn and used for training. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/blackburn-botha/ #aviation #RoyalAirForce #RAF #BlackburnBotha #TorpedoBomber #aeroplane #airplane
