Operated by Reeder Flying Service. The aircraft is fitted with spray bars along the wing trailing edge. This was seen on many air tankers, which were frequently used for agricultural spraying when not in use for fire suppression duties.

Post-war flew as N7076C before being acquired for preservation. Exhibited wearing the markings of VMTB-132 Squadron.

This Avenger was TOC by the USN during June 45 but too late to see combat in the Pacific. Instead it spent its service life in various training units before being retired in 1962. It then served as a fire bomber until 1988 before being acquired by the Marine Corps museum. It is now on display at the Flying Leathernecks museum in the colours of VMTB-132 aboard USS Cape Gloucester in the East China Sea during July 1945. The side-on shot is all wing so I chose this angle for more detail.
