Summary
[edit]DescriptionSBDs VB-5 returning Wake 1943.jpg |
Two U.S. Navy Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless dive bombers attached to bombing squadron VB-5 returning to the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) after the attack on Wake Island, 5 October 1943. Note the recently overpainted red surrounding of the U.S. national insignia. VB-5 was initially assigned Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldivers, but the problems encountered with these aircraft during Yorktown´s shakedown cruise prompted her skipper, Capt. Joseph J. Jocko Clark to order them replaced by the more reliable Dauntless. The squadron took SBD-5s into combat aboard the "Fighting Lady" (USS Yorktown) in August 1943. |
