Douglas SBD Dauntless

This was a single engine dive-bomber, which had a two man crew.  It was an important plane in the early part of the war in the Pacific.

The Dauntless had a maximum speed of 255 m.p.h.  It was powered by a Wright Cyclone 9 engine, which I believe was a 9 cylinder rotary engine.  It was used on carriers and was a key player in the Battle of Midway.
