That reminds me of a scene from the wartime classic "Wing and a Prayer". Lots of great Avenger footage in that one.

I think the last three, only the middle one looks like an Avenger. The first and third might be SB2C Helldivers looking at the exhausts and that whacking great tail

Yup, that's an SB2C, confirmed by the piccie in #110. Cool though, never thought the SB2C would be the aircraft doing the rescuing.

4 blade prop in the first pic too.

That's because the Avenger with the 4 bladed prop is actually a Curtiss SB2C Helldiver. Image from Wiki
