No oblique camera normally carried on the FAA Avengers - the blister window on the side replaced the original oval window, and was used for wider-view observation. When the 'stinger' machine gun was deleted, a F24 camera was mounted in the 'tunnel', looking aft.

A massive twin-engined PBM takes off, assisted by a jet that enables this heavy Navy plane to shoot up from the water like a Fourth of July skyrocket. Photographed by Lt. Comdr. Horace Bristol, USNR. U.S. Navy Photo

[11287] .. sacrificed on June 23 - 24 by Stalin .. "do not be provoked by the German thrusts"
When you look at the mass of wrecks ... and the same goes for the humongous Soviet armor wastage .. it is a visible measure of the industrial strength that Stalin had achieved in a decade. In 1939 Stalin had more tanks than the rest of the world put together ... probably true for fighter AC too. June 22, 1941 was way too late to be worrying about "provoking" Hitler.
