Vintage DOUGLAS SBD DAUNTLESS DIVE BOMBER 1/48 Plastic Model Kit (Monogram PA54-150, 1967)72-247)

1/48 scale U.S. NAVY DOUGLAS SBD DAUNTLESS DIVE BOMBER plastic model kit with operating dive brakes, landing gear. Center bomb drops and machine gun swivels.<BR><BR>

The Douglas Aircraft Corp. SBD Dauntless dive bomber became a mainstay of the U.S. Navy’s World War II air fleet in the Pacific, with the lowest loss ratio of any U.S. carrier-based aircraft. Douglas delivered a total of 5,936 SBDs between 1940 and the end of production in July 1944.<BR><BR>

The Dauntless was developed at the Douglas Northrop facility at El Segundo, Calif., and was based on the Northrop Model 8 attack bomber developed for both the Army and the export market. The SBD Dauntless featured “Swiss cheese” flaps — dive brakes punched with 3-inch holes — so that it could achieve pinpoint accuracy by diving to the target, dropping the bomb and then pulling out of the near-vertical dive.

In addition to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Army Air Forces, the Dauntless served air forces in New Zealand and Mexico.<BR><BR>

The first enemy ship sunk by the U.S. Navy in World II is credited to a Dauntless from the USS Enterprise. The diving Dauntless went on to destroy 18 enemy warships, including a battleship and six carriers.
