Offered here is an authentic WWII U.S. Navy fuel booster pump, manufactured by Thompson Products, Inc., model TFD-8000, and clearly dated August 4, 1943.
This original wartime aircraft component is in working condition, with proper data plate markings and honest service wear consistent with age. Fuel booster pumps were critical to maintaining steady fuel pressure to aircraft engines — a vital system in naval aviation during World War II.
Thompson Products (which later became part of TRW) produced numerous high-quality military aviation components during the war. Surviving, dated examples in operational condition are increasingly difficult to find. A genuine, dated 1943 naval aviation component from the height of the war.
