Douglas TBD Devastator (replica)

@ARTIeditor
In 1937 the Douglas Aircraft company built 129 examples of the TBD Devastator torpedo bomber for use on U.S. Navy carriers. Considered to be obsolete when World War II started, the Devastators last saw combat in the Battle of Midway, which saw the torpedo squadrons practically wiped out. As a result, surviving Devastators were withdrawn from service and passed into history. Today no surviving examples exist (except on the bottom of the ocean). The USS Midway Museum has a full size realistic replica of a TBD that was created for the 2019 Hollywood movie “Midway”. This TBD is displayed in an exhibit about the Battle of Midway along with a Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter and a Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber, which were the other two plane types flown from Navy carriers during this pivotal battle.
