W. Bush, was miraculously rescued. What happened to the other eight remained a secret for almost 60 years.

Download or read book TBF TBM Avenger Units of World War 2 written by Barrett Tillman and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 1999-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As its name suggests, the Avenger meted out severe retribution on the Japanese in the Pacific, participating in every major engagement through to VJ-Day. As a key weapon of World War II (1939-1945), the Avenger was so highly valued by the US Navy that its demand for the aircraft soon outstripped Grumman's production capacity, so General Motors [GM] was contracted to build the near identical TBM from September 1942 onwards. Over 1000 Avengers also saw action with the Fleet Air Arm in both the Atlantic and the Pacific through to VJ-Day, and two squadrons of RNZAF TBDs fought alongside American Avengers on Bougainville in 1944.

Download or read book The Real Story of Flight 19 written by Steve MacGregor and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disappearance of Flight 19, five US Navy Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers, on December 5th 1945 and the subsequent vanishing of a Martin Mariner PBM flying boat which was searching for them remains one of the most baffling and enduring aviation mysteries.More nonsense has been written about Flight 19 than almost any other aviation mystery. The loss of these aircraft has been blamed on everything from giant waterspouts to UFOs and even on the malign influence of the Bermuda Triangle. However, many previous writers have either invented evidence to support their theories or have focused on only a single aspect of this tragedy. This book includes a detailed analysis of all the evidence and concludes that the solution to this mystery is much simpler but no less tragic or surprising. The writer has experience of both investigative journalism and flying and uses this knowledge to provide a harrowing account of human failure and fallibility that led directly to the deaths of twenty-seven men.Clearly set out and meticulously researched, this book finally tells the real story of Flight 19.
