The SB2C Helldiver was a carrier-based dive bomber produced by the American Curtiss company and introduced into service with the United States Navy during World War II. This aircraft was extensively used in the Pacific theatre during the years 1943–1945, participating in the battles of Leyte, Okinawa, and in attacks against Japanese ships and land installations. The Helldiver was renowned for its rugged construction and combat effectiveness, becoming one of the most important carrier-based bombers of the US Navy in the final phase of the war.
