About the Douglas TBD-1 Devastator

The Douglas TBD Devastator was the U.S. Navy's first all-metal, carrier-based monoplane torpedo bomber. Entering service in 1937, it represented a significant technological advancement and served as the Navy's primary torpedo bomber during the pre-war and early war years. These aircraft saw extensive service from the late 1930s through the Battle of Midway in June 1942.
