- The National Museum of WWII Aviation put on a special event about the Battle of Midway June 5, 2021. The focus was on the SBD Dauntless Dive Bombers and the key role they played in the battle.
Three squadrons of SBD's from Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown sank 4 Japanese carriers which helped turn the tide of the war. After the presentation they flew their Dauntless which is one of three remaining in the world that flies.
Here's a walk-around video showing close up on the details: • Walkaround SBD Dauntle...

My favorite WW2 warbird. SBD. "Slow But Deadly".
I just wanna see a dive run with today picture quality. Amazing plane.
That would be super cool to see. The 2019 film Midway has some good action scenes with SBD's diving.
@@FPdesignfab great movie. also saw the 1976 version
@@tyreekmurillo4524 I need to rewatch that one! It's been a long time. Thx for reminding me.
Gorgeous
my dad was a tailseat gunner at midway and other battles...he came home with 3 air medals and a dfc...he was a damn good shot! i never could get the best of him on the skeet range even in his later years...never beat him playing darts either lol
Behold, the destroyer of the Kido Butai
Since it was designed to be able to withstand the G's involved pulling out of a 70 degree dive the Dauntless could actually pull more G's in a tight turn than a Zero could so in the hands of a skilled pilot they could be quite evasive-with the sting of twin .30 caliber machine guns covering the back. Pilots would actually burst capillaries from the G's pulling out of a dive. The pilots loved them for their robustness, ability to take punishment yet still get them home, and the fact they were delightful to fly. A swarm of these must have been awful to see for any IJN sailor. SBD (Slow But Deadly), I've wondered why they couldn't put a supercharger on them.
They were all supercharged r 1820
Wat a great machine 😎👍
Is there a SBD left in year 2023
Yes, This one in Colorado Springs remains in perfect condition in the museum as far as i know.

i wonder if that thing can still structurally handle a diving run
I bet it can! It appears they rebuilt this better than it was new in the 40's.
It can the guy who flies it for the museum has dived it before.
Beautiful plane, my favorite plane US. Hooah! 😎
👍👍🙏🛩️
I =do= love Ed's rep maker, but feel =it's= own rep was partly paid for with the lives of a lot of Douglass =Devastator= pilots who came in low and drew the Zeros away from the Dauntlesses far above and behind them. I met two flag officers who'd flown them in their youth at a Tailhook years ago. They agreed that the SDB was a Real Good Bird but said one had to really stay on the stick & pedals to keep it headed straight and level even though it dove true as a pelican even =after= one opened the dive brakes. Go figure.
Zaidi
How many airworthy examples are there?
This is one of three flying in the world (at the time I made this video).
This one is an amazing rebuild: th-cam.com/video/pnUvKpwEE6M/w-d-xo.html
They always commenced their attack coming out of the sun so that enemy gunners couldn’t get a good bead on them.
Slow and lumbering . Would of made a perfect trainer at that time!
No slow but deadly SBD
@Robert Boomhower: Believe me, my friend, you and I would have been the first to wet our pants in that thing in a dive with full enemy fire ;-)
Not really . Would have been in my early 20s. Would have had a string prostate !
