Grumman TBF / General Motors TBM Avenger Carrier Torpedo-Bomber Family

The Grumman TBF Avenger was a large carrier-based torpedo bomber whose internal bomb bay, folding wings, long range, and adaptable payload made it one of the most versatile naval aircraft of the Second World War. Grumman designed the family and Eastern Aircraft, General Motors' aircraft division, built most TBM examples; later Avengers served in anti-submarine, radar, airborne-early-warning, carrier-onboard-delivery, training, and firefighting roles across several countries.
