I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

TBM Avenger - Part 1 - History and Specs
An article from wikipedia on the Avenger, including a listing all the variants, may be found here. The wikipedia article includes specifications (citation needed) for what they refer to as a TBF Avenger.
Go here for a short military history of the Avenger including specs for the TBM-3. For specs on the TBF-1 Avenger (an early model), read this military factory article.
