The Huff-Daland TA-2 was an American biplane trainer designed by the Huff-Daland Aero Corporation in the early 1920s for the United States Army Air Service. It was a development of the Huff-Daland HD.4 Bridget with a 140 hp (100 kW) ABC Wasp radial engine. Three prototypes (one for static tests and two fliers) were ordered for evaluation at McCook Field. The two flying examples were later rebuilt with a re-designed fuselage, balanced rudder, smaller wings and a 90 hp (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 engine. One aircraft was later re-engined with a Lawrance J-1 radial engine.
