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. The plane's Bureau # is crudely marked on the forward fuselage, vertical tail and rudder. This view looks west-northwest, several miles south of Traverse City. Chum's Corner, the intersection of north/south highway M-37 and east/west highway US 31, is in the lower right. The southern part of Silver Lake runs across the center of the view, with Bass Lake beyond and Long Lake in the distance. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
