The TBM-3U Avenger was one of the most recognizable aircraft in the United States Navy (USN) during World War II as well as the postwar and Cold War periods. Developed by Grumman, this variant was produced under license by General Motors (Eastern Aircraft Division) and was widely used by the US Navy and carrier aviation units of Great Britain, Canada, and New Zealand. After the war, the Avenger TBM-3U variant was adapted for transport duties, target towing, and patrol missions, serving into the 1950s.
