I think your picture is an XSB2 Destroyer. The BTD-1 destroyer doesn't
have the chunk missing out of the rudder fairing. As of August 2007,
there was a BTD-1 in the restoration hanger at the Wings of Eagles
museum in Elmira, NY, per the attachment.
BTW: Douglas resurrected the Destroyer name for its B-66.
