The Douglas SBD Dauntless was a naval dive bomber made by Douglas during World War II.

The aircraft was also operated by the United States Army as the A-24 Banshee. Although relatively slow and outmoded when it began its combat career it was rugged and dependable and sank more Japanese shipping than any other aircraft during World War II.
