Grumman TBM Avenger by Willard Womack
Via Flickr:
TBM-3E Avenger of Marine Squadron VMTB-132 aboard the USS Cape Gloucester (CVE-109). About to be launched for a mission over Kyushu, Japan, 8 Sept 1945. This date on the caption may be in error as Japan surrender on September 2nd, 1945. However they may still have been flying missions,, not needlessly combat missions.

Grumman TBM-3E Avenger
The Grumman TBM-3E “Avenger” is the late World War Two variant of the original Grumman TBF Torpedo bomber first flown in 1941. The TBM-3E production began in 1944 and was manufactured by the Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors in Ewing, NJ now the Trenton Mercer Airport. The “TBM” designation was assigned to all versions produced by Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors that began in 1943 with the TBM-1. The TBF/TBM was initially developed as a torpedo bomber for the US Navy, and US Marines and would eventually serve in the air and naval services of allied nations during and after WWII. The TBM would go through numerous conversions after the war and would see service in the US Navy through the 1950s.
