Re: TBF Avenger of VT-10 damaged by F6F

Eddie Outlaw was a controversial character--not loved by his squadron but he stood up for the troops while running TF-77 in the Tonkin Gulf c. 1966. After the Chinese began harassing USN aircraft he authorized a couple of fighter sweeps over Hainan, and things settled down for awhile.
