Curtiss SB2C Helldiver vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver is a dive bomber developed by Curtiss-Wright during World War II. As a carrier-based bomber with the United States Navy, in Pacific theaters, it supplemented and replaced the Douglas SBD Dauntless. A few survivors are extant. Nicknames for the aircraft included “Big-Tailed Beast” or just “Beast”, “Two-Cee”, and “Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class”; the latter nickname was derived from the name “SB2C” and the aircraft’s reputation for having difficult handling characteristics. By the time a land-based variant, known as the A-25 Shrike, became available in late 1943, the Western Allied air forces had abandoned dedicated dive-bombers. A majority of A-25s delivered to the US Army Air Forces were transferred to the US Marine Corps, which used the type only in one side campaign and non-combat roles.
