TBM - Restoration
Project
The paint scheme used for the restoration of our TBM is one of the few we could find for a TBM-3E that had a little history and a little color. The yellow/gold and white lines are indicative of a squadron that flew off a jeep carrier in 1945.
The carrier is the Cape Gloucester and the squadron is VMTB132. Other squadrons on other carriers would have had the yellow/gold and white lines at different angles or places that would indicate their status. |
From left to right is the crew that restored our TBM-3E:
Leon Simon, David Ellington, Steve Smith, Tom O’Hara, Richard Rainbolt and Dave Koning. |
