I wish there was a cockpit for the TBD so it could be flyable.
It served in more actions than just the debacle they had at Midway, and that was not the fault of the aircraft itself, and had a fairly good record otherwise. It is good to remember that when introduced it was, by far, the most advanced torpedo bomber on the planet. It just shared the fate of so many interwar designs, to wit, technology was advancing so rapidly that it was very quickly outdated for it's intended role. As a flyable it would fill a gigantic gap in the USN plane set.
