The Grumman TBF/General Motors TBM Avenger was one of the most important US Navy combat aircraft to take the war to Japan in the Pacific during World War II, and also played a significant role fighting the German U-boat threat in the Atlantic. Charles L. Scrivner's "TBM/TBF Avenger in Action" does a good job detailing the technical history of this torpedo bomber. The book starts with the XTBF-1 prototype before moving on to the TBF/TBM-1 and TBM-3 production versions. He also details the many sub-variants of the series including the -1C, -3E, -3R, British Tarpoon export variants, and others.
