Able to carry a substantial bomb load, the Dauntless proved to be very effective in sinking Japanese ships, and it earned glory during the famous Battle of Midway. The SBD-5 was the definitive model of the series, with an increased ammunition capacity and a more powerful engine than its predecessors had. It was also produced in a land-based variant, the A-24 Banshee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas SBD-5 Dauntless (Lee)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMajor Christian C.
