Douglas TBD Devastator Torpedo Bomber, ordered in 1934, it first flew in 1935 and entered service in 1937. At that point, it was the most advanced aircraft flying for the Navy and possibly for any navy in the world. However, the fast pace of aircraft development quickly caught up with it, and by the time of Pearl Harbor Attack it was outdated. It earned notoriety for its catastrophically poor performance in the Battle of Midway.
NO surviving examples exist today.
I'm looking for schematics and or plans and or blueprints to be able to build one from scratch. Where could they be obtained? I do not plan on building one myself, but I know several people who are interested in obtaining one.
Also looking for TBD Manuals, I see none on this web site
