The Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) is an American torpedo bomber developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and eventually used by several air and naval aviation services around the world. The Avenger entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw action during the Battle of Midway. Despite the loss of five of the six Avengers on its combat debut, it survived in service to become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of World War II. Greatly modified after the war, it remained in use until the 1960s

| First fly | 10 March 1936 |
| Built | 2201 |
The Fairey Battle was a British single-engine light bomber designed and manufactured by the Fairey Aviation Company. It was developed during the mid-1930s for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a monoplane successor to the earlier Hawker Hart and Hind biplanes. The Battle was powered by the same high-performance Rolls-Royce Merlin piston engine that powered various contemporary British fighters. However the Battle was significantly heavier, with its three-man crew and bomb load. Though a great improvement over the aircraft that preceded it, the Battle was relatively slow and limited in range. With only two .303 in machine guns as defensive armament, it was found to be highly vulnerable to enemy fighters and anti-aircraft fire.

The Grumman F4F Wildcat est un avion de chasse américain embarqué. Il équipait les porte-avions de l’US Navy et de la Fleet Air Arm britannique en 1940 sous la dénomination Martlet. Le Grumman F4F Wildcat était un chasseur embarqué utilisé par l’US Navy et la Royal Navy anglaise. D’abord utilisé en combat par les Anglais en Europe, le Wildcat fut aussi et surtout utilisé par les Américains dans le théâtre du Pacifique en 1941-1942. Le Wildcat fut remplacé par le rapide Grumman F6F Hellcat pour faire face au Zero. Mais le FM Wildcat fut toujours fabriqué par General Motors pour servir sur les porte-avions d’escorte où des chasseurs plus lourds et plus gros ne pouvaient être utilisés. Le Wildcat était surclassé par le Mitsubishi Zero son principal opposant sur le théâtre Pacifique, mais il réussit quand même à s’imposer principalement grâce à sa capacité à encaisser les dommages. Relativement bien blindé et équipé de réservoirs auto-obturant, le Wildcat pouvait survivre à de nombreux impacts infligés par les Zéros à la surprise de ceux-ci, faiblement blindés.
