Housed in the esteemed Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton, this historic aircraft is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation technology during wartime. The TBM-3 Avenger, manufactured by General Motors, was a versatile torpedo bomber and anti-submarine warfare aircraft used extensively by the United States Navy and the Royal Navy during World War II.
