BOMB AWAY! UNSUNG HEROES
SBD-3 dropping its bomb could be a 1,000 pounder. During the Battle of Midway about seven squadrons of SBD's took part, with one squadron US Marines, lost 35 aircraft and 40 crewmen.

I really appreciate the WWII images and narratives provided on this site. Just returned from a dive trip to Truk and am trying to put together a slideshow that will convey to others the courage and skills of our Navy and Marine flyers putting their lives on the line for the folks back home in 1940s - the 'Greatest Generation' - probably will go down that way in our history books. I came along in 1939 - too late to be a participant but I have many memories listening to conversations of parents and neighbors who 'were there'.
