A new dive bomber for the U.S. Navy, the Curtiss Helldiver SB2C-1, is seen during a demonstration flight on October 16, 1941. The new plane carries its bomb load inside instead of outside the fuselage. Its development will be protracted; the SBD Dauntless will soldier on for some time.

Would you happen to be able to see/Identify the other tail numbers?

A couple of sources stated the 42-5732 through 42-5745. However the 42-5732 can be noticed by the wing tip only seen at the bottom of the pic. The 42-5733 is presented without the tail. But the sequence of the serials seems to confirm the info.
