Re: Can anyone identify the TBM-3E2?
According to the FAA's Avenger Pilot's Notes, the A.S.5 was distinguished from the A.S.4 by the radar, ASH in the 4 replaced by ASV 19A in the 5.
ASH was the equivalent of the American AN/APS-4 and so I wonder whether the ASV 19A had an American equivalent as well?
The three USN models used for ASW post-war, TBM-3E, TBM-3S, TBM-3S2 all used the old APS-4.
