The Navy's SBD light dive bomber is the counterpart of the Army's A-24 (Dauntless) with the differences that adapt it to Navy requirements. This Douglas plane is equipped with slotted wing flaps to decrease air speed and obtain greater bombing accuracy. It is more maneuverable than the German Stuka and is capable of carrying heavier bomb loads

Not an SBD Dauntless. Note long cowling, fabric covered rear fuselage, two blade prop and lack of a fillet between vertical tail & fuselage.

Looks like one of the forty French Vought V-156F-3 Vindicator (AKA the SB2U-3 Vindicator in USN/USMC service) lost in France in 1940

Heck, even I spotted that right off.

 

[Capt. Vick]

You can even see the remains of the dive brakes specific to that version, poking up mid-way out on the top of the wing.

What first caught my eye was the 2 bladed prop. Then the shape of the cockpit…..

 

[CATCH 22]

What first caught my eye was the 2 bladed prop. Then the shape of the cockpit…..

... and the French roundels...and parts of the French "tricolore" (fin flash),,,

 

[SaparotRob]

It all started with the prop.

Certainly from Navy (Aéronavale) Escadrille AB1.
