simple,

Why does the TBM have a four (4) bladed prop?

All pictures, movies and RL TBMs that I've seen had 3 bladed props.

The netherlands also used them on their CV the Karel doorman as submarine interceptor.
After the war until grumman tracers replaced them.
Exact data i don't have here but my father he got some books (he served on the carrier). Where i can find types and numbers.
