Not sure the Helldiver would qualify Terry. Not sure about the Ventura either as it was more a Patrol a/c. Any other would be great.

The PV-1 began to be delivered in December 1942, and entered service in February 1943. The first squadron in combat was VP-135, deployed in the Aleutian Islands in April 1943. They were operated by three other squadrons in this theatre. From the Aleutians, they flew strikes against bases in Paramushiro and Shimushu, Japanese islands in the Kurile chain. Often, PV-1s would lead B-24 bomber formations, since they were equipped with radar. In late 1943, some PV-1s were deployed to the Solomon Islands as night fighters with VMF(N)-531, a Marine Corps fighter squadron.



Brewster 2B2A Buccaneer Dive Bomber was used as early Navy radar equipped aircraft for nightfighter training.
