Torpedo Bombers
Torpedo bombers are specialized aircraft designed to deliver torpedoes against naval targets. They typically fly at low altitudes to avoid detection and can strike enemy ships with precision. These bombers played a significant role during World War II, contributing to naval battles by targeting enemy fleets.
The design of torpedo bombers often includes features like a sturdy airframe and powerful engines to carry heavy payloads. Notable examples include the TBD Devastator and the Avenger, which were used by the United States Navy. Their effectiveness in combat helped shape naval warfare strategies during the 20th century.
