A U.S. Navy Grumman TBM/TBF Avenger torpedo bomber, numbered '88,' banks through billowing clouds during World War II. Flown from escort carriers such as USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80), the Avenger was the Navy's primary torpedo bomber of the war, valued for its rugged construction, internal bomb bay, and defensive dorsal turret. This print carries the signature of Bill Niemann, likely a naval aviator connected to the squadron, preserving a personal link to the aircrews who flew these missions across the Pacific.
