On December 7, 1941, Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless, BuNo. 2162, piloted by CDR Howard Young who was the Commander of the Enterprise Air Group, led 18 SBD’s from the USS Enterprise to Ford Island and unfortunate timing found their arrival in the middle of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Not only were they being shot at by Japanese planes but friendly fire was a large threat. Unfortunately five SBDs were lost with the others landing safely. CDR Young led other attacks including Wake Island but was killed shortly after.

The Douglas SBD Dauntless was the main dive bomber of the US Navy from mid-1940 to 1944 when it was supplanted, although not entirely replaced, by the SB2C Helldiver. The Dauntless was used in every major Pacific conflict including the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944. A total of 5,936 SBDs were produced.
