It was more of a problem with Curtiss management who took a long time to work out all the design flaws with balance, tail flutter, etc.All those engineering changes caused so many delays in CCF’s production that production engineer Elsie McGill was fired.The RCN never operated Curtiss Helldivers.Helldivers were unpopular with US Navy pilots. Immediately after WW2, the USN retired all of their Helldivers.Only the Helldivers given to the French remained in service, mainly bombing Viet Minh. We have to wonder what the French did to offend the USN???
