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 B-5 Baffin biplane torpedo bomber was a development of the Ripon, the chief change being that a 545 hp (406 kW) Bristol Pegasus I.MS radial replaced the Ripon’s Napier Lion water-cooled inline engine.

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 Consequently it was only used operationally by 608 Squadron before being withdrawn and used for training.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

Bloch MB.177 French Bomber
To enable the use of Hispano-Suiza 12Y31 engines on the MB.174 airframe, the MB.177 incorporated redesigned engine mounts. The engines proved to be underpowered. The sole example was captured by German forces and taken to Rechlin for evaluation. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/bloch-mb-176-french-bomber/ #ReconnaissanceBomber #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #ArmeeDeLair #aviation #BlochMB177 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #SecondWorldWar #warfare #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII -
