Grumman Avenger as nightfighters?
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?
