TBF/TBM Avenger - Grumman's First Torpedo Bomber in World War II (Legends of Warfare)
The Grumman TBF Avenger was the most successful torpedo bomber in the US fleet during WWII. Developed before the US entered the war, it first saw combat at the Battle of Midway. The demand for this versatile carrier-based aircraft, capable of carrying bombs, depth charges, and torpedoes, quickly exceeded Grumman's production capacity.
As a result, General Motors' Eastern Aircraft Division was contracted to build additional units, which were designated TBM. Both the TBF and TBM variants remained in service long after WWII.
This book uses carefully researched, high-quality photographs - many never before published - to provide a detailed history of this iconic aircraft. The images bring the TBF and TBM to life, allowing readers to experience the aircraft's legacy in the skies.
