HISTORY ASPECTS:First flown in 1938 The Douglas SBD Dauntless was the United States Navys main dive-bomber during World War II. The Dauntless featured "Swiss cheese" flaps-dive brakes punched with 3-inch holes which helped it achieve pinpoint accuracy when diving to the target. The cockpit accommodated the pilot who doubled as the bombardier and manned a fixed-forward gun. The rear cockpit contained a machine gun and played a major defensive role. During the Battle of Midway SBD dive-bomber attacks fatally damaged all four of the Japanese aircraft carriers and heavily damaged two cruisers.
