General Background

 

The SBD-5 Dauntless was the best variant built with 2,965 aircraft being built. Even with its upgrades there was one major stumbling block for this plane and that was its lack of folding wings. As the USN built more and more carriers for their offensive against Japan this problem became even larger. So after the invasion of the Mariannas the USN SBDs were assigned to secondary land based operations where they spent the rest of WWII.

 

The Aircraft

 

This SBD-5 of the French Navy belonged to the 4FB which was established in Morocco in late 1944 together with the 3FB.

It retained the standard American three tone Navy color with its own national insignia. After WWII they operated briefly from the carrier Arromanches.
