The SBD pilots had considerable training in scouting and navigation - the "scouting" part was a vital function of Naval Ops before radar and the scouts were the first line of defense for the fleet, so it was a very serious and integral part of USN training in the 30's.For an undertrained navy that hadn't spent the last decade full out training for war, yup.
