Thanks for sharing. I'm a sucker for SBDs.

Ran in the family, as Dad oversaw our restoration of the only 1970s flying example and I was blessed to log several hours with him. Ours actually was an A-24B restored as an SBD-5, went to noted collector Doug Champlin 1974 and then to the USMC Museum in exchange for two aircraft. Around 2005 the USMC swapped straight across with the USAF Museum's army version (SBD-3a?) so everybody's happy.

THE best photo I ever took. Thanks to a friend's formation flying skill in his SNJ.
