CAF Warbird Tube - SB2C Helldiver
The first production SB2C-1 flew in 1942, and SB2Cs first flew into combat in the campaign for Rabaul in November 1943. By the next year, the SB2C had replaced the SBD Dauntless as the Navy's first-line dive bomber. The "Big-Tailed Beast," as its not-always-affectionate crewmen called it, eventually proved to be a formidable and highly versatile weapon. Join us to learn about the last airworthy Helldiver.
