Crewmen inspect battle damage on a Bf110. Note the damage to the port wing (between fuselage and engine nacelle) and it looks at though the starboard engine took damage due to the excessive oil.

To me this is a testament not only to the pilot, but also the Wright R-2600-20.

Lt. King did a heck of a job keeping it airborn. Sadly, after he was hit by AA over Chichi Jima, he ordered his crew to bail out before he could recover control...they bailed out but he had regained control of the Avenger in the interim. They were never found.

That was the result of a mid-air and, I think, a testament to the once great Grumman Iron-Works.

More details here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aircraft-pictures/tbm-avenger-damage-17489.html#post472170, but you're right, the other Avenger was hit by flak and collided with Lt. King's a/c...I mixed the two up

And completely agree about Grumman making tough aircraft!!

Amazing how he kept it under any sort of control at all and Grumman did really build them strong
