Douglas Dauntless SBD-5 BuNo28536 History

Dave, I have also looked up the NZDF site but there is nothing there on the unit assignments/movements post manufacture/pre RNZAF and also post return to the US Marines on Russell Island. Trying as I said to have a complete history of the surviving RNZAF ‘warbirds’ that exist around the world but I am guessing that may have to write to US Navy and Marine Corps museums

Have a browse on this site as well…

Thanks DaveM2. I did have that one. I am trying to research the histories of every surviving former New Zealand operated warbird and believe it or not there are a few of them out there. I guess that I shall have to go through US Navy at Pensacola to obtain the full data on this particular machine. Thanks again for the post
