TBF Avenger History:
First flown on August 1, 1941, the three-seat Grumman TBF Avenger
torpedo bomber entered US Navy service just in time to participate
in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Demand for the aircraft was so
great that the General Motors Company was also contracted to build
it, under the designation TBM-1, beginning in September 1942.
The Avenger's torpedo delivery capability had a huge impact on
the Japanese fleet during the war, and its rugged simplicity made it
highly resistant to enemy air defenses. After the war, the Avenger
continued to find niches in naval aviation. The US Navy maintained
it as a search and rescue aircraft, an all-weather night bomber, an
electronic countermeasures platform, a Carrier On-Board Delivery
(COD) aircraft, and a target tug.
In 1953, the Royal Navy began acquiring anti-submarine warfare
versions of the Avenger under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program
(MDAP). Avengers were also exported under the MDAP to France, Japan,
Canada, and the Netherlands.
