The US Navy placed a contract with DouglasAircraft Company for the development ofthe TBD torpedo bomber in 1934, which was to be a technological jump in carrier aviation in a period where naval aviation was dominated by biplanes on carrier decks. This would soon change. The TBD Devastator’s first flight was on 15th April 1935. Subsequently Douglas quickly delivered a prototype to Anacostia US Naval Air Station for the evaluation and performance trials. The prototype performed well with only a slight alteration to enlarge the canopy to increase visibility. The US Navy BuAir placed an order on 3rd February 1936 for 114 TBD-1s. The first production aircraft was evaluated for testing purposes and was modified as the type's only seaplane variant when it was fitted with floats as the TBD-1A. The TBD was powered by the 850 horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1830-64 Twin Wasp radial engine.

Pathfinder P-38s For No.5 Group RAF Bomber Command 1944

That 5 Group Bomber Command experimented with using the North American P-51 Mustang in the hands of 617 Squadron to carry out the precision marking of targets during daylight raids during the summer of 1944 is comparatively well known. That 5 Group also experimented with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning to carry out a similar role by both day and night is less well known and the colour schemes carried by these P-38 Lightnings are enigmatic to say the least.
