The two Devastators in Jaluit's lagoon -- one at a depth of about 50 feet (15 metres), the other at 130 feet -- are an important part of American naval history, said Hill Goodspeed, chief historian at the National Museum of Naval Aviation.
All but one of the Devastators was shot down, yet by luck, the Japanese combat air patrol over its carriers was pulled down to wave height chasing the torpedo planes.
The author claims that the TBD Devastators were old and sluggish at the onset of war; they were sluggish all right--but not old.
