eBay: Douglas SBD Dauntless

Ad: This forum contains affiliate links to products on Amazon and eBay. More information in Terms and rules


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

Certainly from Navy (Aéronavale) Escadrille AB1.
