Avenger at War

Few people would claim the Avenger was the best aircraft of World War II. It was overly heavy, burdened with excess equipment it seldom used, and underpowered. But despite its shortcomings, 10.000 were produced between 1942-1945, more than any other US Navy aircraft except the Corsair and Hellcat.
The Avenger proved very adaptable, able to carry bombs, torpedoes, rockets and depth charges, functioning as dive bomber, torpedo bomber, day bomber, night bomber and in one case, even as an interceptor!
Avengers were found from Midway to Guadalcanal, Saigon to Tokyo, Morocco to Normandy and they helped destroy 60 Japanesen warships.
