概要

解説 The U.S. Navy Vought XTBU-1 prototype (BuNo 2542), in 1941. The aircraft later became known as the TBY Sea Wolf. However, the original design was not by Consolidated Aircraft, but rather by Vought, who designed the then XTBU-1 to a 1939 U.S. Navy requirement. Its performance was deemed superior to the Grumman TBF-1 Avenger and the Navy placed an order for a 1,000 examples. Several unfortunate incidents intervened; the prototype was damaged in a rough arrested landing trial, and when repaired a month later was again damaged in a collision with a training aircraft. Once repaired again, the prototype was accepted by the Navy. However, by this time Vought was heavily over-committed to other contracts, especially for the F4U Corsair fighter, and had no production capacity. It was arranged that Consolidated-Vultee would produce the aircraft (as the TBY), but this had to wait until the new production facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania was complete, which took until late 1943. The production TBYs were radar-equipped, with a radome under the right-hand wing. The first one flew on 20 August 1944. By this time, though, the TBF equipped every torpedo squadron in the Navy, and there was no need for the TBY. Orders were cancelled after production started, and the 180 built were used for training.
