Welcome to another episode of Warbird Wednesday!The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver developed by Curtiss-Wright. As a carrier-based bomber with the United States Navy in the Pacific theater, it supplemented and replaced the Douglas SBD Dauntless. Neither pilots nor aircraft carrier skippers seemed to like it. Nevertheless, the type was faster than the Dauntless, and by the end of the Pacific War, the Helldiver had become the main dive bomber and attack aircraft on USN carriers.
