| John D. Voss , CA | This section for the BT-1 and -2 belongs in the Northrop Aircraft Co. portion of this data base. 03/18/2006 @ 18:35 [ref: 12851] |
| Bob Duffy Nashua,, NH | For good color motion pictures of BT-1s in pre-war yellow wing paint schemes, check out the technicolor film Dive Bomber" with Errol Flynn. The film has a lot of other pre-war Navy aircraft with wonderful close ups! 08/19/2005 @ 08:47 [ref: 11025] |
| Mike F. Zachary, LA | The Douglas BT-1 was a US Army Basic Trainer, the Northrop BT-1 was a US Navy dive bomber. 02/24/2005 @ 12:53 [ref: 9521] |
| Gary Hebbard St. John\'s, NF | The Douglas BT-1 photo's that I have seen look nothing like the a/c you identify as a Douglas BT-1. The Encyclopeida of World Aircraft shows a follow-on version known as the BT-2 with a round engine and a BIPLANE configuration! Possible eror here? 02/06/2005 @ 20:59 [ref: 9381] |
| Bogdan ATAMAN Warsaw, OTH | Your third photo looks rather like NORTH AMERICAN BC-1.
