The WACO D was an ambitious multipurpose military biplane designed to fulfill at least twelve different combat roles, from fighter to bomber to reconnaissance aircraft. First flown in the early 1930s, it was a single-bay biplane configuration powered by Wright radial engines ranging from 250 to 450 horsepower. The aircraft measured as a typical military biplane of its era, with variants designated CHD, JHD, WHD, and S3HD based on their engine configurations. Manufactured by the Waco Aircraft Company in Troy, Ohio, the D series represented the company's determined but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to break into military contracts.
