CAF Helldiver (SB2C)

This is the only one still flying today out of 7,140 built and one of only five complete aircraft remaining.

This aircraft first flew into combat in the campaign for Rabaul in November 1943. The Helldiver was Navy carrier based and U.S. Marine island based. It was significantly faster and more potent than the SBD and responsible for more ship tonnage sunk during WWII than any other aircraft.
