SBD Dauntless and TBF Avenger "Aces"

[knusel]

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

currently, I'm working through Barrett Tillman's excellent "TBF/TBM Avenger Units of World War 2" which reveals the following kills of Charles Henderson:
VT-10
18Jun44 Aichi E13A apparently not processed
20Jun44 Nakajima B6N
VT(N)-90
19Mar45 Kawanishi H8K
13May45 Kawanish N1K probable
13May Nakajima A6M2-N

Was he flying a TBF or a TBM in Jun44 ?

Cheers,

Michael

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.

VT-10 used TBF's and TBM 's on 13Jun44.
VT(N)-90 used TBM's on 17Feb45.
