According to several scources the Grumman Avenger was used as an
improvised nightfighter on the USS Enterprise since radars at that
time were too big to fit onto Hellcats or Corsairs . Now does this
seem pointless or what?
Surely the Curtiss Helldiver would have been a far better
nightfighting platform especially since it was more faster and carried
a bigger striking punch (20mm cannon) than the Avenger?
