Introduction
シンプルかつ頑丈な作りの傑作急降下爆撃機です。
大戦初期の機体でありながら、旧式化したあとも長く使われました。ドーントレスの愛称で呼ばれた本機は、練度の高いパイロットであれば、ある程度の対空戦闘も可能でした。
Called the "Dauntless", this simple yet robust dive bomber was used extensively during the Great War. In the hands of a skilled pilot it can even be used as fighter.

Trivia
- The SBD is famous for turning the tide of the war at the Battle of Midway.
- It was popularly known as the "Slow But Deadly", stemming from the initials SBD and its relatively low speed by its pilots.
- SBD took part in defending Pearl Harbour. It was also their first action in WW2. 3 days later, SBD from USS Enterprise sunk I-170.
- In the begining of Pacific War, many USN pilots wanted this plane to be replaced, however, this plane sunk more ships than any other allied navy planes did.
- On rare occasions, SBD was mounted with DGP-1 gunpods which replaces the bomb under the wings. This makes SBD more focused on ground attacking role and strafing enemy convoy.
- SBD means "Scout Bomber Douglas"
