Re: SBD Dauntless and TBF Avenger "Aces"
I have 2 victories with VT-10 in 1944, and 2/1/0 with VT(N)-90 in 1945.
Enjoy! Frank.

Re: SBD Dauntless and TBF Avenger "Aces"
Hello Frank,
oh yes, I found an old discussion of ours, in which you mentioned it. I've included him in my list of borderline top aces of their aircraft: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=50548 Henderson scored his kills in a TBM (and not a TBF), didn't he ? Have a nice Sunday, Michael Last edited by knusel; 23rd June 2019 at 20:11.

Cheers, Michael

Re: SBD Dauntless and TBF Avenger "Aces"
Who knows? Probably only his pilot's logbook would give the answer, but does it really matter?
At 31 May 1944 VT-10 reported X9 TBF-1C and X5 TBM-1C on hand.
