1939-built Vought Vindicator dive bomber - the last survivor of the type. Ditched in Lake Michigan on 21 June 1943 during a training flight and recovered postwar. Restored in the early WW2 markings of VB-2 Squadron USN.

Heavy check in progress! Note the cartoon on the nose windows.

This is the only SB2U extant and was delivered in July 1939, serving in patrol roles until it was transferred to Carrier Qualification Training Unit, Glenview NAS, IL. and assigned to the USS Wolverine (IX-64). It crashed a month later and sunk to the bottom of Lake Michigan, where it stayed until recovery in 1990. After restoration it is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
