The Douglas SBD Dauntless served as the U.S. Marine Corps' primary dive bomber during the early years of World War II. The SBD-1 variant was among the first production models, and these aircraft were present at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The Dauntless would go on to become one of the most successful dive bombers of the war, playing crucial roles at Midway, Guadalcanal, and throughout the Pacific campaign.
