	TBF Avenger Information
		The Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) was an American torpedo bomber, developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps and used by a large number of air forces around the world.
		Grumman's first torpedo bomber was the heaviest single-engine plane of WWII, and it was the first to feature a new wing-folding mechanism (designed by Grumman) that would minimize storage space on an aircraft carrier; the F6F Hellcat (also manufactured by Grumman) would have the same mechanism.
		On the afternoon of December 7, 1941, Grumman held a ceremony to open a new manufacturing plant and display the new TBF to the public.

	Grumman TB2F - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grumman TB2F was a prototype, twin-engined torpedo bomber, intended as Grumman's successor to the successful TBF Avenger.
		In 1944, during World War II, the Midway class aircraft carriers were being built, and Grumman attempted to design a new torpedo bomber to accompany those carriers.
		However, it was soon decided that, among other difficulties, it would be impracticable to efficiently deploy twin-engined aircraft of this size from an aircraft carrier, and the plans were scrapped.

	Grumman XTSF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grumman XTSF was a torpedo bomber design based on the F7F-2 Tigercat.
		Grumman submitted its Model 66 design to the Bureau of Aeronautics in June 1944, and the existing contract for the XTB2F was modified to instead order two XTSF-1 aircraft.
		The contract was terminated in January 1945 due to the Navy's belief that the Grumman factory was already at capacity.

	F-14:
		The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft.
		Of the five companies that submitted bids (four of which incorporated variable-geometry wings as on the F-111), McDonnell Douglas and Grumman were selected as finalists in December 1968, and Grumman won the contract in January 1969.
		Grumman had been a partner on the F-111B, and had started work on an alternative when they saw the project heading south, and so had an edge on its competitors.

		The available radars in 1943 were very bulky, because they contained vacuum tube technology, so radar was at first carried only on the roomy TBF Avengers, but not on the smaller and faster fighters.

		It was to be very heavily-armed and the wings were to fold for stowage aboard an aircraft carrier.
		Further discussions led Grumman to initiate the development of TB2F in 1944.

		Designed by Leroy Grumman, its first prototype was called the XTBF-1.
		Grumman's first torpedo bomber was the largest single-engine plane of WWII, and it was the first to feature a new wing-folding mechanism (designed by Grumman) that would minimize storage space on an aircraft carrier; the F6F Hellcat (also manufactured by Grumman) would have the same mechanism.
		By 1943, Grumman began to slowly phase out production of the Avenger to produce F6F Hellcat fighters, and the Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors took over (causing the designation to be changed to the TBM).

	AF Guardian
		The genesis of the Guardian begins in the late months of World War II as Grumman developed plans to replace the TBF Avenger.
		The normal continuation of the designation, TB2F, was used on a design for a two-engine aircraft that never was built but the designation was recognized by the Navy.
		The design which the Navy ordered in February 1945 was a single engine attack aircraft designated XTB3F.

		This was a one letter (on rare occasions two-letter) code which specified the manufacturer of the aircraft.
		For example, the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation of Bethpage, Long Island was designated by the letter F. The letter H stood for the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation.
		In some cases, a letter used by one manufacturer was reassigned to another after the first went out of business.
