The hangar at Mid Atlantic Air Museum protects most of the flyers in their collection, including this General Motors-built TBM Avenger torpedo bomber. Being winter, the hangar was stuffed when I visited.

no plot, just 17000 words of disorganised notes and a dream

I've only seen Winter Soldier and Civil War once each and I just remembered them as the same film which is tragic because I think Winter Soldier is actually mostly good and Civil War is... just nonsensical

Grumman TBF Avenger - When 'good enough' wins wars. It wasn't built to be all things to all people. Which is probably why it ended up being the best naval bomber of World War II. The Grumman TBF Avenger was primarily used by the United States Navy, but it was also used by other Allied nations, including the Royal Navy. Fleet Air Arm pilots loved it. It was a generational leap over the reliable but increasingly obsolescent Fairey Swordfish and Albacores they had flown previously. And its performance, reliability and safety was significantly greater than its supposed contemporary - the Fairey Barracuda. But the Barracuda was trying to be a dedicated torpedo bomber, a fully functional steep dive-bomber and an all-weather scout. The Avenger began with low expectations and ended up excelling across the board. The Royal Navy received a total of 402 TBF Avengers through the Lend-Lease program, and they were operated primarily by the Fleet Air Arm. The Avenger saw action in several theatres of war, including the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and it was instrumental in the defeat of the German U-boat threat. But the Royal Navy found the Avenger most useful in the Indian and Pacific Oceans where the Fairey Barracuda's performance problems were most apparent.
