EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ongoing restoration process of Douglas BTD-1 Destroyer 04959 (MSN 1891) at the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center, Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, Elmira, New York. Circa 2000, the Douglas BTD-1 Destroyer, a unique and important piece of aviation history, is meticulously brought back to life. The Douglas BTD-1 Destroyer, a single-engine torpedo bomber, was originally manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company during World War II. With a distinctive design and impressive capabilities, the BTD-1 served valiantly in the U.S. Navy, contributing significantly to the war effort. Post-war, the aircraft was retired and eventually found its way to the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center for preservation and display. In this image, we see the restoration team hard at work, focusing on the intricate details of the aircraft's exterior. The faded paint is being carefully stripped away, revealing the original Douglas Aircraft Company markings beneath. The team's dedication and attention to detail are evident as they work to restore the BTD-1 to its former glory. The Wings of Eagles Discovery Center, located at Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history of aviation. The center's collection includes a diverse range of aircraft, from early biplanes to modern jets. The restoration of Douglas BTD-1 Destroyer 04959 is just one of the many projects undertaken by the center to ensure that the stories and achievements of aviation's past are not forgotten. As the restoration continues, the Douglas BTD-1 Destroyer 04959 will once again take its place among the historic aircraft on display at the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center, serving as a reminder of the courage, innovation, and determination that have shaped the history of flight.
