I can win one of these?! Cool! Apparently, there is only one surviving example off the coast of California at a depth of 600ft since it’s crash during a training flight in 1939.

They don't look to devastating. They were formidable when they initially entered service but by the time the US entered WWII they were pretty much obsolete. Torpedo bombers had a limited window of usefulness anyway. By mid June of '42, they had outlived their usefulness due to the changing tactics of war. After the Battle of Midway, the destruction of the Japanese Navy was all but certain and the low speed necessary to launch a successful torpedo attack made it unnecessary. It was also eclipsed by the SBD Dauntless dive bomber. |
