Indeed, but there is still the Douglas TBD Devastator : This is a Douglas torpedo plane, not a NG.

That's true, But I would of like to have seen a beautiful TBF cockpit from TD.

True but sadly off the table... another Navy strike plane we could have would be the SB2C Helldiver. That would be very interesting to have as a flyable. Depending on the model it had a full range of bomb carrying capabilities (stored in the internal bomb bay), HVAR rockets on the wings, and twin 20mm Hispano cannons. One of the few US aircraft to mount such weapons.

Built by Curtis wasn't it?

Correct. So it should be open.

So depressing that NG stuff is off limits. What about the P-82 Twin mustang? It was made by NAA.

Not sure... NAA was sold to Rockwell and from there to Boeing.

P-82 isn't really a WWII aircraft. I'd rather see a focus on types that fought over later models (as interesting as the Twin Mustang is). As far as Mustang models go... the initial RAF Mustang Mark I, the P-51A, and the A-36 Apache are all interesting types that'd be interesting to see. Not sure if NAA aircraft are off limits or no.
