Summary[edit]

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. |
