Many of you who are regular visitors will know of my interest in this oft-maligned aircraft, and the men who flew it. I am pleased to offer this page with photos from varied sources, including a treasure trove from the Boeing Archives courtesy Dan Johnson. Other valuable contributions have been made by historians William T. Larkins (who actually took the photos he sent..what a wonderful era that must have been) and Mark Horan, co-author of A Glorious Page in our History

I intend to integrate the BuNo database and photo page into a single, searchable entity at some point in the future for added convenience. I would also like to invite any submissions from visitors who may have photos of TBDs, as well as any feedback you may have. Thanks for visiting!


Action and service photos

/windows-81-product-key-generator-free-2015.html. The VT-2 photos below are taken from one group photo (SM23964-TBD-1-6-41) over California on 6 January 1941. Interestingly, this photo has four future VT-8 aircraft in the formation. This is the second-largest airborne shot of VT-8 aircraft in formation that I am aware of; the largest being a picture of the entire squadron passing over Hornet on the way to attack the Kido Butai on 4 June 1942 shortly after 9 AM local time.

The following images were recently made available via the Photographic Section at www.history.navy.mil (an outstanding resource, for those who are unfamiliar with that site). I cannot emphasize how pleased I am to see these photos readily available in the public domain, and offer my thanks to the individual or group responsible for compiling and scanning this photo collection! Each photo has a brief explanation in the caption. Additionally, links are provided to identified aircraft through the data page (e.g. BuNo '0333' being jettisoned from the Yorktown). NOTE: This is not, repeat, NOT, BuNo 0333. I am still trying to determine exactly which aircraft this is, but I know for a fact it's not 0333 asI received a letter from one of the two men who would know best..Ray Machalinski, the gunner who took a swim along with his pilot, Lt. Leonard Ewoldt when they ditched BuNo 0333 after the Tulagi raid on May 4, 1942. More details as they become available!

The TBD in Color

The Devastator was the Navy'sfirst monoplane to see squadron service, and as such was afforded quite a bit ofpress in its day. Fortunately, some of the photos taken were shot incolor, giving us an opportunity to see those Golden Wings the way they weremeant to be seen!

These three photos are part of aspecial color centerfold feature shot aboard CV-6 Enterprise in eitherlate 1940 or early 1941 which appeared in the March 31, 1941 edition ofLIFE. VT-6 was one of the earliest adopters of the Navy's new all-greycamouflage scheme directive issued in January 1941, as evidenced by theirappearance in the Warner Brothers' classic movie 'Dive Bomber'.
This somewhat pixelated Rudy Arnold shot appeared in the February 1942 edition of 'Flying' magazine.
Another shot from the incomparable Rudy Arnold, this shows a TBD attached to VS-42 aboard USS Ranger on patrol along the Eastern seaboard (most likely off Norfolk) sometime in 1941.

Color profiles and Squadronemblems

(A word about the profiles: Iam most certainly NOT Tom Tullis or Claes Sundin, so please excuse the basicappearance of these!) These are just to give an idea of how the aircraftlooked at a given time, and salient features are captured as best aspossible. This will be a large project, and will eventually be categorizedin a searchable database by four digit BuNo. This section is currentlyunder development..below is the first 'base profile' for the GoldenWings versions as it appears under development.

Walkaround photos

The majority (if not all) of these photos are ofBuNo 0268, the first production Devastator, and were taken throughout 1937 atthe Douglas factory in Santa Monica (judging by the background). Thisaircraft was subsequently retained for testing by the Navy, later being fittedwith Edo floats as the TBD-1A. Further details are available on the datapage; the aircraft was unceremoniously scrapped on 22 September 1943.


Interior photos

Well, if you can't do a Devastatorwith THESE photos, I don't know what else to tell you. :-) Most ofthese are scanned from original Douglas factory photographs; a couple come fromthe Erection and Maintenance manual, and these are of a slightly fuzzy quality,that's just how they are in the book. Now, the only thing we need arecolor photos..
