Title: VC-13 Avenger
Post by: Greebo on September 22, 2017, 04:26:19 AM

Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This TBM Avenger was part of composite squadron VC-13 embarked on the escort carrier USS Core. The USS Core protected convoys making the Atlantic crossing and during the second half of 1943 its F4Fs and TBMs sank four U boats. The white and grey Atlantic scheme was designed to make the aircraft less visible from the conning tower of a U boat during an attack.

I do to, and am looking forward to this one and an FM-2 in same grey/white scheme.  Really sharp looking skin, Greebo!
