TBM-3E Avenger #3 of VT-33 in flight over USS Sangamon March 2,7 1945

Avenger #22 on deck of carrier USS Anzio during a typhoon east of the Philippines 17 December 1944.
Some pretty brave young sailors with the flight-deck crew, no lines, no life vests.
 

TBM-1C Avenger #48 of VT-10 on the hangar deck of the USS Enterprise – June 12 1944. 
Minus one whole side of the elevator that was shot off. 
Still made it all the back and landed the crew safely on the carrier deck.
