About

A history of the the Avenger revered as the best aircraft of World War II.

It was overly heavy, burdened with excess equipment it seldom used, and underpowered. But despite its shortcomings, 10,000 were produced between 1942-1945, more than any other US Navy aircraft except the Corsair and Hellcat. The British Fleet Air Arm had 14 squadrons of them (called Tarpons until 1944) and New Zealand also took a number.

They had a great range capability, often more than their accompanying fighter cover, and they were, above all, rugged, able to sustain damage and yet still get home. But with all the varieties of missions and locales, the Avenger's greatest contribution was undoubtedly in the Atlantic where its role in defeating the U-boat wolfpacks was an important factor in winning the war in Europe.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images including end papers.
