Dumped Avenger Life Rafts

[Phileep]

First I Would like to thank everyone for answering my questions. But now I have a new question: The five Avengers that were dumped at sea by the Navy, did these planes have life rafts aboard? The canopies of the planes were open as if the pilots escaped, but if these planes had life rafts what happened to them?

I have no idea of what you are referring to.

I'm assuming you're asking about Flight 19?

The life-rafts were probably deployed by surviving aircrew.

The TBMs of flight 19 were never found.

Hahahaha! Same here! All that came up were a couple of guys that think one crashed on land and they are trying to rediscover the wreckage and confirm. TIGAR...? TIGAR...?

Have I mentioned that I hate my phone?

They're parked next to Earhart's Lockheed Electra and the Avro Tudor Mk.IV (Star Tiger) at the secret Nazi air base in the Antarctic

I knew it!

* Shhhhh *

Keep it on the down low - as long as they keep searching for them, no one will think of looking in the Antarctic and the base's existence will remain a secret...
