The Douglas TBD Devastator was designed as a torpedo bomber for the U.S. Navy and entered service in 1937. It was the first widely used carrier-based monoplane, first all metal US Navy aircraft, first completely enclosed cockpit that stretched almost half the length of the fuselage, first hydraulic folding wings. When bombing the bombardier would lie under the pilot seat and look through a window in the floor to doing his sighting.
SkyMax diecast models are fully assembled and feature realistic panel lines, detailed cockpit, historically accurate markings and optional extended or retracted landing gear.
