Vought SB2U "Vindicator" was the Navy's first mono plane dive bomber. Entering service during the 30's these lumbering old aircraft were obsolete by time World War Two started. However they remained in service until well into 1942. Well known aviation historian Dana Bell has teamed up with "Classic Warships Publishing" to produce this "Aircraft Pictorial" book on the old "Vindicator". The book is similar in format to the "Warship Pictorial" series with lots of sharp clear photos and plenty of historical background and specifications. The photos show the aircraft in a variety of poses from flight deck to in-flight. They are useful in detailing the aircraft and also in detailing some of the ships that they served on. Included are numerous drawings that illustrate the squadrons and their markings.
Also included are various drawings depicting the insignia of the various "Vindicator" squadrons.
