The Avenger was a dive bomber durring ww2. Fun fact, durring the battle of midway, 9 of these planes were launched from the carriers. Without fighter support, which were protecting the dive bombers that were on their way, all but 1 of these planes were destroyed.

    I know, I was saying the fighters were supporting the dive bombers, so the avengers were on their own @CRJ900Pilot
