Hobby Master 1/72 - Avenger 'U-Boat'

General Background

The TBF/M "Avenger" was the biggest single engine aircraft during the WWII. She was ordered into production in Dec 1940 with first delivery just in time for the Battle of Midway. The "Avenger" was characterized by its rigid and strong body and its versatilities. She started out as a torpedo bomber but also took the duties as a close-support bomber, a patrol aircraft and even a trainer. After the war the Avenger was also used as crop dusters and forest fire water bombers.

 
The Aircraft

The "Avenger" was widely used by the American and Britain escort carriers to hunt down U-boats in the Atlantic Ocean during WWII. It was believed that perhaps all of the 35 German submarine kills were made by US and British Avengers. This TBF-1 stationed at USS Block Island was the first to launch the attack against the German U-boat in January, 1944.
