TBF Avenger on Hornet CV-8 ?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 9, 2003 10:38 PM
Just wondering whether the Hornet ever had TBF Avengers on her deck during her short life ? Maybe at Santa Cruz ?

I believe the Battle of Midway was the Devastator's(TBD) last gasp. Thereafter all carriers used the Avenger (TBF/TBM). But for the definitive answer I have to defer to Jeff Herne. His resources are MUCH better than mine. I'd bet if you give him a date he could tell you how many of which aircraft were onboard.
