Historical description of the SBD-2 Dauntless aircraft

The Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless was the flagship American dive bomber used during World War II, especially in the Battle of Midway and other Pacific engagements. The SBD-2 model was used by the US Navy and Marine Corps from 1940 until it was replaced by more advanced types in the second half of the war.
