My dad flew Avengers and several of the variants. He was on CVL-26 Monterey during and after WW2. Gromit801's uncle had some guts to fly Avengers off the Bogue and Guadalcanal. At less than 500 feet long, the Bogue must have looked like a postage stamp! Carrier pilots are the best.
VERY VERY cool! How much does new brunswick, canada want for these pieces of history??

we still have a fleet here in new brunswick canada of converted tbm water bombers. They are just now being phased out.
