Wonderful idea to collect all types of planes engaged in performing or neutralisation of the Yamamoto's "Operation MI"!

I am especially happy you have chosen Grumman TBF Avenger as the first of all. Of course, this type had no decisive impact on the battle itself, as only six TBF-1s took part in it, five of which were lost. However I am especially fond of the shape of this warbird and I consider Avenger to be very elegant and eye-catching (despite of its vulnerability, but it is a modeller's point of view, not aviator's ). Few years ago when I tried to choose the single aeroplane type to represent all the US planes involved into the Pacific war, I thought of TBF first.

Keep it up!
