Part of the Legend of Warfare series, this covers the design, development, and deployment of the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver in WWII.
While initally labeled as a troublesome aircraft, the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver went on to be noted for striking more Japanese targets than any other US Navy dive-bomber. Despite this, the Helldiver was to be the last of a long line of US Navy dive bombers.
The development, production, and combat use of the many variations of the Helldiver are examined, including experimental variants that did not progress beyond the prototype stage.
Profusely illustrated with war-era photographs, both black-and-white and color, which are augmented with beautiful color photos of the only remaining flyable example, this book provides the reader with a concise yet thorough study of this legendary aircraft.
