This is SBD-2P BuNo 2173. I took this photo four days after it was recovered from Lake Michigan. There were 87 SBD-2 a/c built, of which 14 were the -2P version. 2173 was lost in Lake Michigan on 18 February 1944 while assigned to the Carrier Qualification Training Unit located at NAS Glenview, IL. It is currently on display in Hawaii at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum located on Ford Island.
