EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Radioplane OQ-19D aerial target, a low-speed aircraft utilized primarily for gun and missile anti-aircraft training during the mid-1950s. The OQ-19D was the brainchild of Radioplane, a division of the Northrop Corporation, which was founded by the renowned Hollywood star, Reginald Denny, in the late 1930s. Denny, an avid flyer with a penchant for radio-controlled aircraft models, transformed his hobby into a thriving enterprise just before the onset of World War II. The OQ-19D was a significant contribution to the aeronautical and transportation sector during this era, offering a realistic target for military personnel to hone their skills in combating airborne threats. Radioplane's expertise in radio-controlled technology allowed for precise control and maneuverability of the target, ensuring effective training sessions. This photograph, taken circa 1953, captures the OQ-19D in flight, showcasing its sleek design and intricate details. The plane's aerodynamic shape, coupled with its distinctive markings, make it a captivating subject for aviation enthusiasts and historians alike. The Radioplane OQ-19D represents a pivotal moment in military aviation history, bridging the gap between model aircraft and full-scale military targets.
