Heroic Sacrifice at Midway

When the Devastator entered service in 1937, it was the most advanced aircraft of its kind in the world. However, the rapid development of military aviation meant that by the start of World War II, it was hopelessly obsolete. It made history during the Battle of Midway in 1942, where these slow and vulnerable machines suffered devastating losses. Yet, their brave offensive drew Japanese fighters down to sea level, clearing the way for American SBD Dauntless dive bombers to deliver a fatal strike against the Japanese aircraft carriers.
