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.
