This is our Douglas SBD-4 Dauntless. The Dauntless is a two-seat Scout/Bomber Aircraft with a state-of-the-art low-wing monoplane with multi-cellular wing. This revolutionary development allowed for no external wing braces or stays. Because multi-cellular wings could not fold, the SBD was made very compact. SBDs carried a center-mounted 1,000 lb. bomb on a trapeze that swung the bomb down and forward to clear the prop. The SBD sank more tons of Japanese shipping than all other aircraft combined.

Aircraft that once faced each other in combat, now flying together, sounding incredible, and reminding us how d

The Turboprop Disaster vs. The Delta Wing Wonder: Douglas Aviation’s Cold War Pivot The Cold War race for air superiority drove engineers to the absolute limits of physics, resulting in some of the most fascinating and dangerous aircraft ever built. In the early 1950s, the legendary designer Ed Heinemann—the mastermind behind the SBD Dauntless—found himself at a crossroads.
