The Douglas A-24 (Dauntless) light dive bomber, is the Army counterpart of the Navy SBD, with certain modifications to meet Army requirements. It was designed for dive-bombing operations against ground troops and installations. It is equipped with slotted diving flaps to decrease air speed and obtain greater accuracy. The Dauntless is more maneuverable than the German Stuka and is capable of carrying heavier bomb loads

Production. B-17F heavy bombers. Aluminum cowl sections for B-17F heavy bombers are checked and inspected in the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company. Better known as the "Flying Fortress," the B-17F is a later model of the B-17, which distinguished itself in action in the South Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a long range, high altitude, heavy bomber with a crew of seven to nine men and with armament sufficient to defend itself on daylight missions
