Black-and-white lomo closeup of an engine and propeller of a Grumman or General Motors TBF/TBM Avenger torpedo bomber, developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps and eventually used by several air or naval arms around the world.
Image includes the distinctive upper and lower air scoops of the TBF/TBM Avenger. Two letter Gs found in the serial number indicate this one may have been made by Grumman. TBM indicates an avenger manufactured by General Motors.
The Avenger entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw action during the Battle of Midway. Despite the loss of five of the six Avengers on its combat debut, it survived in service to become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of World War II. Greatly modified after the war, it remained in use until the 1960s.
In June 1943, future-President George H.W. Bush became the youngest naval aviator at the time. While flying a TBM with VT-51 (from the USS San Jacinto), his TBM was shot down on 2 Sept...
This true aesthetic loves beautiful things, from architecture to the intricate details of flowers and plants. A native Californian who lived in Arizona before settling in Texas, I love nature, topography, and exploring small towns, looking for old buildings, unique objects, and rust. I enjoy making scenes look interesting and natural, as I saw them, and worthy of a place in your home, your office, your life. For 15 years I worked as a dental hygienist. Then I spent 25 years as an award-winning writer, graphic designer, and editorial consultant--skills I still use in this venue and in helping others with special projects. This unique background, requiring discernment and perfection, helps ensure the quality of my work. I hope you will...

Ken, thanks for this vital information. I compared this image with the B-17 that must have been parked adjacent to this plane and, sure enough, this one has upper and lower air scoops and the B-17 does not. I wrongly assumed it was the B-17, probably because it was the very next shot and the two were in such close proximity. Thank you for calling the matter to my attention. I shall make the appropriate corrections as soon as possible.

While this is a nice capture of a vintage WWII plane, it is however a Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger torpedo bomber as denoted by the very distinct upper & lower air scoops. The Curtiss Helldiver also employed simular air scoops but were not contoured/blended in the same manner. The TBF/TBM enjoyed a very long active service life into the 1970s as a "fire-bomber" / "water-bomber". Both Canada & the U.S. made good use of the heavy load capability in fire fighting. As many as 66 were registered as water-bombers. There are probably fewer than a dozen airworthy TBMs flying today. I believe the last remaining TBM water-bomber was retired as recently as 2012.
