Summary
[edit]
| Description | A U.S. Marine Corps Douglas SBD-4 Dauntless of Marine Scout Bombing Squadron VMSB-233 pictured on the ground at Henderson Field on Guadalacanal. The damaged aircraft is probably being used for parts to support other SBDs. Note the rough handpainted side number on the aircraft. VMSB-233 was established on 1 May 1942, and arrived at Guadalcanal in January 1943. The squadron was later redesignated VMTB-233 and operated during the Okinawa campaign on board USS Block Island (CVE-106). |
