The Douglas TBD Devastator was a torpedo bomber plane manufactured in 1937 used by the United States that could hold a crew of three. There was about 130 devastators manufactured and used. The Devastator could reach a speed of 206 mph and had a range of about 435 miles.
In 1932 the United States Navy contracted the Curtiss-Wright Corporation to produce a modern two-seat fighter design for use on its growing family of aircraft carriers. This caused the production of the Curtiss SBC Helldiver in 1938. The Helldiver was a two-sear monoplane design with a single set of parasol wings fitted high atop the fuselage. The model was powered by a single whirlwind radial piston engine.
