The restoration of a WW II torpedo bomber the Grumman TBF Avenger is one of the latest projects undertaken to date working with the Deland Naval Air Station Museum. In 1940 the US Navy initiated an aircraft factory competition for a modern aircraft carrier torpedo bomber with WWII on the horizon in Europe and Japan’s invasion of China. Grumman aircraft company was selected with manufacturing in Bethpage, Long Island NY. A total of 2,293 where manufactured designated as the TBF-1. GM also produced 7,546 under the basic designation TBM. It’s design first engagement in WWII was at the battle of Midway (June of 1942) and was involved in the sinking of the largest Japanese battleships the Yamato and the Musashi. The aircraft served in the US Navy up to 1954 and was also used by the Navy of New Zealand and Great Britain.

The 3-man aircraft had a power plant of one 1,750 hp. Wright R-2600-20 Cyclone staggered piston radial engine. This achieved a maximum speed of 267 mph and a service ceiling of 23,400 feet with a climb rate of 2,060 fpm with a range of 1,130 miles. It was considered the heaviest single engine fighter plane in WWII and first to utilize radar.

The armaments include two 0.5-inch fixed forward machine guns, a dorsal turret 0.5-inch machine gun and a ventral position 0.3 machine gun. Bombs included a 2,000-pound torpedo and variations of 500 and 100-pound bombs. Later versions also had wing rockets. The torpedo attack demanded low-level flight aligning with the enemy’s starboard or port sides.
