Hobby Master HA0111 1:72 SBD-2 Dauntless VB-2, USS LEXINGTON, prior to WWII
The SBDs first real test came on 7 May 1942, when the US aircraft carriers USS
Lexington and USS Yorktown faced three Japanese carriers in the Battle of the Coral
Sea. During the two day battle, which was the first naval battle in which victory was
decided by aircraft alone, Dauntless dive-bombers flew alongside other US aircraft. Each side lost one carrier (the Japanese carrier Shoho being sunk by Dauntless and
Devastator bombers) and the U.S. lost USS Lexington but the U.S. had stopped the
Japanese ships from supporting an invasion of Port Moresby, New Guinea, and the
proposed air assault on Australia. 
From mid -1940 until November 1943 the Douglas Dauntless, nicknamed the “Barge”, “Clunk” and best of all “Slow But Deadly”, was the standard U.S. Navy carrier dive- bomber. It was gradually phased out by the Curtiss Helldiver with the SBDs last major carrier action coming on June 20, 1944 against the Japanese Mobile Fleet during the “Battle of the Philippine Sea”.
