Product Description

The Grumman TBF-1 Avenger is an American, single-engine, metal-structure medium-wing bomber-torpedo plane from the Second World War. TBF Avenger was first used during the Battle of Midway (1942). His baptism of fire can be considered successful due to the numerous hits of Japanese carriers that these planes scored, although the good reputation is undoubtedly spoiled by the statistics of numerous losses on the part of these American dive bombers. Nevertheless, after the battle, TBF-1 gained the name of Avenger, the avenger. Since then, the Avenger has been widely used throughout the Pacific theater of hostilities, and has undoubtedly been one of the most important tools by which the Americans were victorious in the conflict.
