HELLDIVER
Designed to a US Navy
specification for a new scout-bomber
to replace the earlier biplane SBC Helldiver, the first Curtiss
XSB2C Helldiver was flown in 1940. Large scale production
was quickly authorised and it entered US Navy service in 1942.
This was the final combat
aeroplane built by the famous
Curtiss company and with over 7,000 examples produced was
the most numerous of all US Navy dive-bombers.
This CD contains four
flight manuals for various models of the
Curtiss SB2C. The CD has been scanned from the original
flight manuals and retains any colour pages.
