Aircraft Unveiled During Gala Event More than 800 guests who attended Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor’s annual fundraising gala last Saturday were among the first to see the Museum’s newest addition to its WWII aircraft collection -- a Grumman TBM Avenger (Bureau number 9117). Initially put into service by the U.S. Navy in 1942, the Avenger is considered one of the outstanding carrier aircraft of all time, serving the military in numerous battles until the 1960s.
