| SBD-3 Dauntless Late Version Hello: I once saw listed somewhere, I believe it was on a modeling kit company’s web site an SBD-3 Late. I tired to find some information on this but had no luck in finding the answer. The only thing that I could come up with is I believe that the first SBD-3’s rear gunner only had a single gun mount and this was up-gunned to a twin gun mount after the Battle of the Coral Sea. I was wondering if this is how they came up with the “Late” version I.D.? I know the U.S.M.C. also flew SBD-3's as well and I assume that they too up-gunned theirs as well or did they stay with the the single gun mount? Thank you for any information. Michael |

| Flyboy: Thank you for your reply to my posting. I was able to find the information that I was looking for and basically, I was correct in assuming that the twin mounted guns came after the Battle of the Coral Sea. Thank you again. Michael |
