From acceptance in 1944 this Helldiver flew with VB-84 and then VB-14/USS Wasp but in May 1945 ditched in Otay Lake, CA after engine failure. The crew were saved but it was not until 2010 that the wreckage was recovered. The major restoration project has only recently been completed

This SB2C-4 ditched in Otay Lake, California after suffering engine failure on 28th May, 1945. Fortunately the crew were unhurt and could swim safely to shore. The hulk was recovered from the lake in 2010 and delivered to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola for restoration to static display standard. I presume this is ongoing.

The first prototype SB2C. The type had a very troubled development phase and it was said that SB2C stood for 'Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class'. This prototype crashed on 18 February 1941, less than two months after its first flight. The photo must have been taken between October 1941, when it had been rebuilt with a longer nose and an enlarged tailfin, and 21 December when it crashed again. Eventually 7000 examples were built but they were never liked and the problems contributed to the demise of Curtiss. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

On display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Helldivers were the last dive-bombers in the U.S. Navy. This Helldiver never saw combat, having reached Guam before the war ended. It was assigned to VB-92 "Battling Beasts" aboard USS Lexington (CV-16) from Sept. to Dec. 1945. By Jan. 1946 the Helldiver was back in the USA, and after rotating through different squadrons was marked for preservation in 1948. It has been restored as a VB-92 aircraft, aided by surviving members of the squadron.
