TBD-1 Devastator Model Airplane

The TBD Devastator was the Navy's first all-metal, monoplane torpedo bomber. It was also the Navy's first carrier-based plane to come with an enclosed cockpit, and the first to use main landing gear wheel brakes. With its Twin Wasp radial engine, the Devastator could fly at a maximum speed of slightly over 200 miles per hour. While most carrier-based aircraft of the day had manually folded wings for storage aboard ship, the TBD featured hydraulic folding wings.
