were shot down in the ensuing battle. Buffaloes were

Douglas TBD Devastator
Tony Weddel. TBD Devastators of "USS Yorktown's"
VT-5 engage Japanese ships in the Battle of Tulagi,

only success was the sinking of the minesweeper "Tama
Maru." This was probably due to the poor quality
of the aerial torpedoes, and the inexperience of the
American flight crews. 23"x 19" print. |
