The Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) was a torpedo bomber developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and eventually used by several air and naval aviation services around the world.

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.











Thanks for looking

Looks stunning!

I am assuming that dark shadow in the spray is the support for the aircraft... pretty darn clever, if you want my humble opinion!

Thanks for sharing!

That's really a neat idea. I like it. How did you do the block of water?
