The Naval Aircraft Factory TG was a series of prototype gunnery-training seaplanes designed and built by the United States Navy's own aircraft factory. Each was an equal-span biplane with tandem open cockpits for a pilot and a trainee, a large central float and a smaller stabilising float under each wingtip. Five were built for evaluation as the TG-1 to TG-5 and were generally similar, differing mainly in where the fuel was carried, inside the fuselage in the TG-1, TG-3 and TG-4 and inside the central float in the TG-2 and TG-5. Engines were 200 horsepower Liberty or Aeromarine T-6 units in the first four and a 180 horsepower Wright-Hispano E-4 in the TG-5. The TG-2 had a published maximum speed of 97 miles per hour and a service ceiling of 13,000 feet.
