Summary
[edit]
| Description | A U.S. Navy Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless assigned to Composite Squadron 22 (VC-22) pictured with hook down during an approach for landing. VC-22 operated from Naval Air Station Willow Grove, Pennsylvania (USA), during May-June 1943, and spent time at sea in USS Independence (CVL-22). However, when the carrier entered combat in late-1943, VC-22 operated Grumman TBF-1s rather than SBDs. |
