Air Pictorial 1957-08 / ??? - Some American Home-Builts

The Townsend "Thunderbird", a two-place, cantilever monoplane utilises the outer wing panels ofa Vultee BT-13, as well as the latter's tail surfaces, which are cut down. A 245-h.p. Jacobs R-755-9 engine provides the power which gives the aircraft a top speed of 200 m.p.h.
