Summary
Description |
English: A U.S. Navy Douglas TBD-1 Devastator torpedo plane assigned to Torpedo Squadron 6 (VT-6) from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) flies over Wake Island during Wake Island Raid, 24 February 1942. Note fires burning in the lower center. The view looks about WNW, with Wilkes Island in the center and the western end of Wake Island in bottom center. Peale Island is at right. The aircraft ("6-T-5") is probalby BuNo 0326, one of the few aircraft of VT-6 to survive the Battle of Midway. It flew the last combat sortie of a TBD on 6 June 1942 against the Japanese heavy cruisers Mogami and Mikuma. It was later stricken on 12 October 1943. |
