Northrop BT-1 torpedo bombers on board USS ENTERPRISE (the other one) circa 1940.
54 BT-1s entered service with the Navy during 1938. It was deemed unsuitable for carrier use due to handling difficulties and withdrawn from front-line service in late 1940. Despite being retired from front-line units, BT-1s went on to serve in non-combat roles with the USMC and at various coastal Naval Air Bases through 1942 and were totally retired in 1943.
Northrop was a subsidiary of Douglas at the time, and the BT-1 would be the basis for the later Douglas SBD DAUNTLESS.
I loved the brilliant between-wars paint schemes.

It’s not great, but I kind of like it.
It’s giving “Strangers in the Night” vibes. 😂
