The redoubtable little SBD, “Dauntless’’ Diver Bomber. Saw one at The Smithsonian Air And Space Museum in DC some years back. Was a rather but small compact, tough looking little thing but it packed a wallop.

The navy museum at pensecola has one of the original battle of midway Speedy3s(SBD-3)as they were called.Those men saved the day and the tide turned during this battle and the japs never recovered their dominance over the pacific again.
