Stretch, thanks for the detailed information. I didn't have that stuff from my books. Most of the data gets scanty after 1945. I made the TBM templates myself some years back when we first got the Avenger in "Pacific Fighters". I have for my own personal use versions of the Avenger in Atlantic white/grey and all the various blue schemes from the Pacific. This is my first KTO skin for the Turkey.
I have been to VC-81's reunion in 2006. Speaking with actual pilots and air crew from TBM's and FM-2's was a chance of a lifetime. I could spend hours writing about their stories.... The naval aviator in the TBM who had to do #2 during a patrol flight was HYSTERICAL! There is no toilet in an Avenger!
Thank you all for kind comments!
