Title: Formation of Grumman TBF "Avenger" aircraft
Caption: In flight over Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides, and Aoba Island, 5 October 1943. They had a cover of 24 F4Us during this training maneuver, and were "attacked" by P-40s of the New Zealand air force. Maneuvers ended with an "attack" on the "enemy" fighter strip. Note that one plane still wears the old "wingless" national insignia.
