Opis:

Two Douglas SBD-1 Dauntless dive bombers (BuNo 1603, 1605) assigned to Marine bombing squadron VMB-1 pictured on the ground, possibly at the El Segundo Division of Douglas Aircraft Company, in 1940. Note the bare metal paint schemes coupled with section markings and the Marine Corps emblem on the fuselage. VMB-1 and VMB-2 were the first squadrons to receive the Dauntless, taking delivery of their first SBD-1s in 1940. VMB-1 was redesignated Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 132 (VMSB-132) in July 1941.
