Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Devastator was an outdated design from the 30's, but by no means the worst plane of the war. Blackburn made a variety of aircraft that set the standard in terms of dangerous flaws and impotent performance.
Brewster Buffalo??? Iβve always thought that was the worst. The devastator was hurt by tactics and coordination as much as design flaws.
Have you heard of the defiant?
