This is a replica of the Douglas Dauntless SBD-3 WWII Fighting Machine: with the US Marine Forces the Dauntless was one of the most successful fighting machines in the air! The Dauntless was arguably THE most successful dive-bomber produced by the Americans during WWII as this two-seater was a tough and reliable option against the Japanese. The SBD-3 used by the Navy and Marines at the time featured larger capacity, self-sealing fuel tanks, making it a long-range carrier-based aircraft. The SBD-3 had a 1000hp Wright radial engine that could achieve a speed of 200 mph.First flown in 1938, The Douglas SBD Dauntless was the United States Navy's 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. Incredible detail!
