First flown on 1 August 1941, the
three-seat Grumman TBF-1 Avenger torpedo-bomber entered US Navy service just in
time to participate in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. During its World War
II lifespan, the Avenger design changed very little, and this allowed it to be
built in huge quantities.
Over 1,000 TBF/TBMs (designated
Avenger Mk I) were also used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm in both Atlantic
and Pacific theaters. The Avenger was also used by the Royal New Zealand Air
Force.
The second major variant was the TBM-3, which featured strengthened wings to allow rockets and radar pods to be carried.
