This TBM was accepted from GM by the Navy in March 1945 and went on to serve at various Naval stations around the US until being placed in storage during April 1954. A civil career as a tanker followed, after which she was saved from the scrapman and underwent a long period of restoration. She was finally loaded onto the USS Midway during 2006 and is now on display on the Hangar Deck of this superb museum.

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.

The F-84F couldn't match up to the F-86 as a fighter but became a key ground attack aircraft for the USAF. This Thunderstreak served from about 1952 until 1970 and is now on display at the Grissom Air Museum.

The F-84F couldn't match up to the F-86 as a fighter but became a key ground attack aircraft for the USAF. This Thunderstreak served from about 1952 until 1970 and is now on display at the Grissom Air Museum.

Whilst the F-84F was certainly dogged by development, production and perfomance issues it flew at a time of rapid advancement in fast-jet capability and the lessons learned paved the way for the superb Century-series of fighters that followed.

This aircraft was delivered right towards the end of WWII being too late to see any action so languished for a year at NAS Tillamook before being SOC. Fortunately, she avoided the fate of most of her contemporaries, a date with the axeman, to wind up at the National Naval Aviation Museum during 1980.

This aircraft was delivered right towards the end of WWII being too late to see any action so languished for a year at NAS Tillamook before being SOC. Fortunately, she avoided the fate of most of her contemporaries, a date with the axeman, to wind up at the National Naval Aviation Museum during 1980.
