With two right ends out, Harlow would seemingly have an impossible problem on his hands. But Captain Don Forte, who has seen no action at all this fall, seems slated to make his debut this week. Brought along very slowly, Don should be scrimmaging tomorrow, and if all goes well he will probably be very much in evidence against the Tigers...
Grumman TBF (Avenger) - singleengine, air-cooled. This plane made its battle debut at Midway. A bigger, more powerful and more advanced airplane than the once-standard Douglas Devastator, the TBF is the best carrier-based torpedo plane so far seen in action...

So he went to warmer Hollywood, where he made his debut menacing Tyrone Power and the British Empire in Lloyds of London. Lancer Spy was supposed to make a "supernova" of Sanders. "A super-nova," 20th Century-Fox explained, "is what astronomers call a big star which appears suddenly and shines with great brilliance." Instead, Sanders became one of the best scene stealers in the business...
