| John V. Graff JhnGraff@aol.com Leawood, KS | First aircraft to be equipped with the effective General Electric AN/APS-20 Search Radar (March 1945). The TBM-3W worked in concert with the TBM-3S to form the "Hunter-Killer Team" which was employed in anti-submarine warefare so successfully near the end of WW-II and thereafter. 04/23/2000 @ 12:47 |
