Built in response to a 1939 requirement for a carrier-based torpedo-bomber to replace the TBD Devastator, the TBF Avenger proved one of the most versatile aircraft of World War II. Equipped with an electrically powered gun turret and an internal bomb bay, the aircraft carried a crew of three. All told, a total of 9,842 production versions rolled off assembly lines. The Avenger was the primary torpedo bomber of the US Navy during most of WWII. It earned a place in history during the Battle of Midway when almost all of the first TBFs to see combat were completely demolished before reaching their targets. Despite this, the TBF went on to have far greater success than the Battle of Midway later on, earning its place in history as a valuable torpedo bomber.
