Was wondering if anyone down in the States might be able to help me track down the history of a USN/RCN TBM Avenger {RCN serno 85829} . Trying to find out if the USN kept an aircraft record card on this aircraft much like the RCAF and RCN did.
Haven't tracked down the BurNo. on this aircraft yet but would love to find out it's history in the USN before entering service with the RCN.
This aircraft was lost in a ditching in January 1957 in Lake Erie just short of Port Stanley, Ontario.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might track down these record if they exsist?
Many thanks
