  1. Was that George H. W.'s ride?

  2. Can't be 41, our aircraft had a red dot in the center of the star and Avengers were not in service in 1941 but 1942.

  3. That is a late 1943 early 1944 TBF -3 with 1944 markings. I hope the turret gunner and RO got out. Those things sank like stones. Its how GHW Bush lost his crew. They were considered death traps by the crews if ditched.---Ray

  4. Any landing you walk (or swim) away from is a good landing.
