Japanese Pilots Mocked The Grumman Avenger… Then It Sank Their Fleet | WWII Documentary

At the height of World War II, Japan’s elite pilots laughed at America’s new torpedo bomber — the Grumman TBF Avenger. Slow, bulky, and awkward, they saw it as an easy target. But that mockery didn’t last long.

From the bloody skies over Midway to the decisive Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Avenger proved to be one of the most durable and deadly aircraft of the Pacific War. Its torpedoes crippled Japanese carriers, shattered supply lines, and helped turn the tide of the conflict.

In this episode, discover how a plane once ridiculed became a symbol of American resilience, engineering power, and relentless determination — the story of the “flying tank” that refused to die.
