The Douglas SBD Dauntless was a single-engine, low-wing aircraft and the most widely used carrier-based dive bomber by the U.S. Navy during World War II. Entering active service with American flight units in 1941, it could be employed for both reconnaissance and dive-bombing missions. The SBD-3 was the true hero of the Battle of Midway (June 1942), a turning point in the Pacific War, where it played a key role in the sinking of Japanese aircraft carriers. Powered by a Wright R-1820 Cyclone radial engine, it could reach a top speed of 410 km/h (255 mph). The SBD-3 was capable of carrying nearly 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs) of bombs. It was also equipped with two forward-firing 12.7 mm (.50 cal) machine guns and two rear-facing 7.62 mm (.30 cal) machine guns. It was highly appreciated by crews for its ruggedness and solid construction.
