| John D. Voss , CA | The A-24 Banshee differed from its USN counterpart (i.e. the SBD Dauntless)in that it did not have an arresting hook and the tail wheel was pneumatic...and of course the final color. Those A-24's passed on the the USN had the letter "A" attached to the extreme right hand position of the designation (e.g. SBD-3A)indicating former army usage. 09/26/2007 @ 21:32 [ref: 18019] |
