Thats it! From what I read about them they failed to impress as a bomber and were used throughout the war mostly as transport and glider tugs, with large numbers of them used during D-Day for the glider tug role.

Yep, and dropped the first troops into Normandy on the night of June 5th, when the 'pathfinders' of the Parachute Regiment went in to mark DZ's.

OK, try this one - it'll either be solved very quickly, or take ages !

X-15?

Guys, you do know that your posted pictures have the name of the file next to them and many have the name of the plane in the file name, so a straight give away. Might want to change file names before posted.

Not a X-15 - much earlier, and a single engine.

Can't see any file name against any of the pics - mine don't disclose the type, but might show a location.

It is indeed an Avenger, this one at The American Museum at Duxford.
Early aircraft in FAA service were called Tarpon, later changed to Avenger Mk.II, MkIII etc etc.

Hmmm first knee jerk reaction is Luftwaffe bomber or transport of some kind.
