Designed by Grumman as a replacement for the TBD-1 Devestator torpedo bomber, the TBF Avenger was a three-place ( pilot, turret gunner and radioman/ventral gunner/bombardier). The Avenger made it first flight in August 1941 and by June 1942, the Navy had 145 TBF-1 aircraft. Grumman vent on to produce 2,293 of the TFC-1 and TBF-1C variants and later General Motors produced 7,546 Avengers which were designated as TBM.
Graham Oxtoby, Dave Eckert and Dennis Seeley have teamed up to bring us this historic aircraft from the World War II era to FSX and FS2004. This Premier Collection version is an aircraft carrier based plane that was part of the USS Enterprise air fleet. Similar models was used by Allied forces during the war and into the early 1950s.
