Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless - Commemorative Air Force - Upper Cumberland Air Fair 2022

The Douglas SBD Dauntless was a World War II-era American naval dive bomber. It was developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company and entered service with the United States Navy in 1940. The SBD was a sturdy and reliable aircraft, and it played a key role in several major naval battles of the war, including the Battle of Midway which took place in June 1942, six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor & one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea and was a major turning point in WWII becasue it ended the threat of further Japanese invasion in the Pacific. While slower than other attack aircraft used later in the war, crews popularized the name “Slow But Deadly” as an alternate meaning of the SBD acronym.
