Title: Naval Aircraft Factory/Interstate TDN-1
Description: attack drone (Bureau # 17308) On its first (piloted) flight, near Naval Air Station, Traverse City, Michigan, 19 May 1943. Pilot was Lieutenant C.C. Corley. The TDN was intended to serve as a television-guided flying bomb. Note the antennas atop the fuselage, behind the wing, and aperature for a television camera in the center of the plane's nose. The plane's Bureau # is crudely marked on the engine cowlings, vertical tail and rudder, and the horizontal stabilizer. This view looks north from over Franke Road, immediately south of the west side of Traverse City. Silver Lake Road is in the upper distance, with the State Hospital Farm visible in the upper left. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
