It was a development of the HD.4 Midget with a 140hp 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 90hp Curtis OX-5 engine. One aircraft was later re-engined with a Lawrance J-1 radial engine.

The TA-2 was re-designed with a 200hp Lawrance J-1 engine and re-designated the Huff-Daland AT-6, one prototype only was built.
