The Dauntless' replacement the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver originally did not have the perforations in the dive flaps which limited their effectiveness as dive-bombers. Finally with a lot of other changes the -3 Helldiver received perforated dive flaps, but by late 1944 the need for a dive bomber had all but disappeared since most of the Japanese navy was already on the sea bottom.

That is a Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless.
It was obviously intended for a tropical theater. Note the clever use of camouflage around the cockpit.

Posted by: davo at February 06, 2016 02:50 PM (sMLEE)
The three box slots on the leading edge of each wing is another signature item of the Dauntless. Along with the non-folding wing since the SBD does not use wing-spares, instead it used the patented Northrop multicellular design.

From the wings I would guess Jap Zero, though late in the war there was a US aircraft that could be mistaken for a zero. Don't remember which one that ose.

Bingo. Other dive bombers used fixed landing gear to slow the dive speed, e.g., Aichi Val Type 99 and German Ju-87 Stuka. Only Dauntlesses had perforated flaps to slow/control the dive.

From ABC News here is a side view of what looks like the same SBD. Notice the windscreen looks intact. And an identifying feature of the -5 and -6 Dauntless is the lack of a telescopic sight sticking through windscreen. The radio antenna mast in front of the cockpit is made from wood and is in remarkable condition compared to the fabric covered control surfaces.

The dauntless has a mild gull wing and a large cockpit over the wing. The Vought F4U has a more pronounced gull wing and the cockpit is behind the trailing wing edge.

Honest and serious answer: Once upon a time I was looking in bookstores for a very small number of books, to cover the breadth of the second World War for me. I don't recall which titles/authors anymore, mostly because these were the pre-internet shopping days, and I found essentially none of the books.
Obviously I didn't try as hard as I thought when I started out. My attentions wax and wane on particular topics. Right now, I think I'm more or less not looking for WWII titles. I have too many books sitting on my shelves, unread. Including Massie's Castles of Steel, which is a re- visitation of the topic of WWI. His book, Dreadnought, is an all-time favorite of mine.

The flaps were used as speed brakes during dive bombing. To my knowledge, no other plane had them.

I cannot recommend Dreadnought highly enough. It goes way beyond the discussion of design, tactics, etc. of the warships. It's a fully researched analysis of much of what led up to the war, including the folly of thinking that so often plagues government in all its forms.

In early '42, a US carrier air group consisted of 12 or maybe 18 F4F-3 Wildcat fighters, 36 SBD-3 Dauntless dive bombers, and 18 TBD-1 Devastator torpedo bombers. Of the three types embarked at Midway, only the TDB had folding wings even though it was the oldest plane type on the carriers. So the carriers tended to keep the Wildcats for a CAP. The shortage of fighters at Coral Sea prompted USS Lexington to use SBDs as an inner anti-torpedo bomber CAP.
For Midway, it is more tragic since Major Red Parks decided to throw his F2A Brewster Buffaloes and F4F-3 Wildcats at the Japanese attacking Midway instead of trying to escort the SB2U-3s and SBD-2/-3s of the VMSB as he had been ordered to. Parks' fighters were all but exterminated which became the fate of most of the Marine bomber pilots.

You should have seen the Winnie Mae we lit on fire with airplane glue and then "flew" by whirling it in a circle with a string. The prop and engine ended up melted into the middle of the starboard wing.
And then there was the time I put an .049 engine in a Bf 109 model. That was a truly spectacular flight.

I didn't know that, but I do know that the low wing design made for a pretty pronounced ground effect on takeoff and landing. Had a couple of flights into Mayo, Yukon on a DC-3. Approaching touchdown, you could actually feel the ground effect buoying the aircraft up. Sort of a featherbed feel in your butt. Awesome airplane.

SBD-4 Dauntless - A three-bladed Hamilton-Standard propeller with a prominent hub boss replaced the earlier propeller. Some -4s were also fitted with underwing L-shaped aerials for the Yagi search radar.
SBD-5 - carburetor air scoop on top of cowling has been removed. Reflector gun sight replaced the telescopic gun sight. Yagi search radar and antennas become standard equipment.
SBD-6 - visually indistinguishable from the -5 unless carrying drop tanks. Never saw combat. Some flew in bare metal.

Brandi Mueller, from Cameron, Wisconsin, captured the planes while scuba diving around five miles from Roi-Namur in the Marshall Islands.
The 31-year-old was taking time off from her coastguard job to teach diving when she came across the incredible find.
She told MailOnline: 'They call it the "Airplane Graveyard" - they aren't war graves or planes that crashed. They were planes that were taken out over the reef and pushed off intact after the war ended.
'For me, diving on airplanes, especially World War Two airplanes is really unique. Diving on shipwrecks seems normal, you expect ships to have sunk.
'But seeing planes underwater is strange, planes don't belong in the water, they belong in the sky, so it feel weird to dive on them. But amazing and special too. And because these planes didn't sink because of the war they are special.
'They should have flown more, lived longer, but they were sunk in perfect condition.'
Her pictures also show other Allied aircraft including Helldivers, B-25 Mitchell, Curtiss C-46 Commando and F4F Wildcats.
The planes would have been dumped into the ocean off of aircraft carriers and transport ships after the successful Pacific Campaign ended in victory for the US in August 1945.

Skip, I first learned about the "Aleutian Zero" by reading a book in the Time Life Books WWll series, Japan at War.
Also, it's my understanding that the recovery, repair, and examination of this Zero was instrumental in the development of the excellent Grumann F6F Hellcat - "The Zero Killer".
Thanks for posting!

Based on that wreck, the designed the F6F Hellcat Zero Killer.
That plane was wrecked in what was primarily a diversion to distract the U.S. from the Japs attack on Midway. The diversion didn't work since their communications security was run by a Jap Hillary and we already knew what they were planning. An interesting episode of the misfortunes of war, arising from what Bismarck called the iron dice of war.

We were south of Houston (there are a huge number of airports around here but I don't know about military bases). Son swears it has wings, but they couldn't have been very large. After I asked I thought of it maybe being a blimp, but it was moving pretty fast (not zipping along, but definitely moving).

OK, just got here (shooting - so shoot me, er, well .....).
First thought when seeing this was - unless Anna steps back and remains silent (we'd all quickly grant that she probably knew the answer instantly), this is a game that's over before it starts.
So, not having looked back at #5, gonna guess SBD Dauntless. Just based on overall size match, what appears to be a fairly longish cockpit area, and especially what look like the SBD's distinctive dive brakes on the trailing edges.
So, now to go check ....

Ha! For the win. Er, well, a small personal moral victory, maybe.
As I said, overall size and the trailing edge of the wings were all I was going on.
So happens there's an SBD being restored at a place I volunteer, though I've only seen it once.
