One of the large number of carrier aircraft types deployed by the US Navy in the Pacific, the Avenger was instrumental in the success of many of the anti-carrier missions during WW2, in particular the Battle of Midway. About 2,300 were built with the later types modified to carry radar, 400 were supplied to the RN for their Pacific operations.
