De Fokker Atlantic TA-1/RA-1 (Model 7)

From 1926 onwards a number of C-2s/C-2As were modified for the US Navy.

The first three were designated TA-1/RA-1.

The abbreviation TA stood for Trans Atlantic, which later caused confusion because the T designation also applied to Torpedo.

The R designation was the identification symbol for transport and cargo aircraft after the C. multiple engines.

The TA-1, developed from the C-2, had room for two pilots and eight passengers, and was equipped with three Wright R-790 Whirlwind J-5 engines of 220 hp each
