Summary edit
DescriptionSBC-4 New York Naval Air Reserve 1940.jpg | A U.S. Navy Curtiss SBC-4 Helldiver (BuNo 1813) assigned to Naval Air Reserve Air Base New York, Floyd Bennett Field, in flight. Note the NRAB New York insignia on the fuselage of the aircraft. The SBC-4 BuNo 1813 was one of the aircraft transferred to USAAC on 8 June 1940 and then to the French Navy. 44 were loaded aboard the French aircraft carrier Béarn at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. France surrendered while Béarn was crossing the Atlantic; she turned south to Martinique, where the SBC-4s corroded in the humid Caribbean climate while waiting on a hillside near Fort-de-France. 5 aircraft left in Canada were used by the Royal Air Force as instructional airframes. |
