SBD Dauntless Units of World War 2
Unquestionably the most successful dive-bomber ever to see frontline service with any air arm, the Douglas SBD Dauntless was the scourge of the Japanese Imperial Fleet in the crucial years of the Pacific War. The revolutionary all-metal stressed-skin design of the SBD exhibited airframe strength that made it an ideal dive-bomber, its broad wing, with horizontal centre section and sharply tapered outer panels with dihedral, boasting perforated split flaps that doubled as dive brakes during the steep bombing attacks

Über den Autor
Barrett Tillman is a professional author and speaker with more than 40 nonfiction books as well as novels to his credit. His first book, published in 1976, remains in print today as do most of his subsequent titles. He holds seven awards for history and literature including the 1996 Tailhook Association Lifetime Achievement Award and third place in the US Naval Institute Prize in 2009. Tillman has appeared in more than a dozen documentaries including The History Channel's Dogfights. Detailed research is a hallmark of Tillman's work. The son of a World War II aviator, he learned to fly at a young age and has logged hundreds of hours in historic aircraft. Therefore his narratives feature details not only of how fliers from many nations performed their missions, but the sound, sensation and feel of mid-20th century aircraft. His combination of research, writing and cockpit immediacy are rare today and unequalled.
