The Douglas TBD “Devastator” is a torpedo bomber of the United States Navy. It was ordered to be developed in 1934, first flew in 1935, and entered service in 1937. Although at the time, it was probably the most advanced aircraft in the U.S. and perhaps the world’s navies. However, during a period of rapid aircraft development, the TBD was already outdated by the time Japan launched its attack on Pearl Harbor. Although its performance was acceptable in the early stages of the war, in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese fleet was almost completely wiped out. As a result, all this type of aircraft in service were quickly replaced by the TBF “Avenger” developed by Grumman.
