This photograph shows a TBM/TBF Avenger torpedo bomber, numbered '92,' banking through storm clouds during World War II. The Avenger served as the U.S. Navy's primary torpedo bomber throughout the war, flying strike, anti-submarine, and reconnaissance missions from both fleet and escort carriers such as USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80). The personal signature inscribed on this print suggests it was kept as a treasured memento by the aviator who flew this aircraft, a common practice among Navy airmen documenting their wartime service.
