TBF Avenger History:

The Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) was a torpedo bomber developed initially for the US Navy and US Marine Corps, and used by a large number of air arms around the world. It entered service in 1942 and first saw action during the Battle of Midway.

The Avenger had overall ruggedness and stability, and pilots say it flew like a truck, for better or worse. With its good radio facilities, docile handling and long range, it also made an ideal command aircraft for Commanders, Air Group. Its 30,000-foot ceiling and fully-loaded range of 1,000 miles made it better than any previous American torpedo plane. Later Avenger models carried radar equipment for the ASW and AEW roles.

In June 1943, future president George H. W. Bush became the youngest naval aviator at the time. While flying a TBM with VT-51 (from the USS San Jacinto (CVL-30)), his plane was shot down on September 2, 1944 over the Pacific island of Chichi Jima. Both of his crewmates died, but he was able to release his payload and hit the target before being forced to bail out. He thus received the Distinguished Flying Cross for this action.
