Surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, this Dauntless went on to sink a Japanese warship on Mar 10, 1942 and participate in the Battle of Midway. Transferred to training duties at NAS Glenview, IL, it crashed into Lake Michigan June 11, 1943 while attempting to land aboard USS Sable. Recovered in January 1994 and restored, the historic Navy aircraft is now displayed in the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, FL.

US Navy Patrol bomber. Composite aircraft rebuilt by Hawkins & Powers at Greybull, using major sections from N2870G (s/n 66304), N7962C (s/n 59882) and N3431G (s/n 66313). Even though most of the fuselage by far came from N3431G, the resulting composite airframe was wrongly given the ID of 66304 / N2870G, presumably for easier paperwork for the delivery flight from Greybull to the museum.

It is hard to put into words the wonderful time I had at the National Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola. I wish that I had been able to schedule an extra day in order to visit without my camera to enjoy and learn from all the superb exhibits and multimedia displays.The Sioux is probably most familiar to me as the H-13 from TV's M*A*S*H fitted with stretcher carriers. Learning all about the type's Navy service would have been interesting but there was just no time.

In 1940 it was clear that the US Navy would have to increase dramatically the number of pilots that were being trained. A varirty of types were used for this purpose and amongst them were 305 Falcons. This example, of what is a very rare type, now hangs in the magnificent National Naval Aviation Museum.

The US Navy ordered 100 NR-1 Recruits to help training the burgeoning number of pilots required in 1941. This aircraft on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum is actually an Army PT-22C, 41-15512, which went to civil as N49086, hence the fake serial. Well done to anybody that can name all the types in the background!
