Douglas TBD Devastator by Schiffer Publishing
Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing
The Douglas Devastator was the US Navy's first all-metal combat aircraft, the Navy's first airplane with a fully enclosed cockpit, the first aircraft to have hydraulically folding wings, and the first US Navy torpedo bomber to see combat. Although facing staggering losses in the early stages of the war in the Pacific, the brave men flying the Devastator from the decks of such famed ships as Enterprise, Hornet, Yorktown, and Lexington held the line against the enemy. Through carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published and which are reproduced in remarkable clarity, the history and details of this iconic aircraft are revealed. This clarity, and the large size of many of the photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, puts the reader in the skies with this historic aircraft.[AuthorName]By David Doyle[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Author of over 100 books, David Doyle was presented the Bart Vanderveen Award, recognizing, āā¦ the individual who has contributed the most to the historic preservation of military vehicles worldwideāĀ in 2015Ā by the Military Vehicle Preservation Association.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]196 color and b/w photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]America's First World War II Torpedo Bomber[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]196 color and b/w photos[/ColorPattern]Product Information
