Is this page accurate?
I have been informed that the aircraft is a

Douglas TBD Devastator NOT a Curtiss Helldiver XSB2-C2 Seaplane.

That's still better than being a dumbass.

I guess I'm just a "glass half full" kindda guy!

Oh I have been a dumb-ass most of my life as well as doing things half-assed because I'm part lazy on my cousins side.

I have always considered the Curtiss C-76 to be the ugliest airplane produced by American industry in WW2. I now stand corrected.

Having children is hereditary - If your parents didn't have any, you can't.

Dunno...

The Brewster SB2A looks like it was seriously slapped around by an ugly stick.

But I'm sure it has a lovely personality.

 

[special ed]

SB2A was a lot of straight lines same as the TBY/TBU.

For a type that got scrapped when it role off the production line, it did do ok-ish in the look department.
