The Navy was looking for a new two-seat dive bomber to replace both the
Douglas SBD Dauntless and the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, but by the end of the
war only 28 (plus two prototypes) had been built. Douglas was soon designing
a single-seat BT2D that became the A-1 Skyraider.
> BTW: Douglas resurrected the Destroyer name for its B-66.
When I was a USAF radio operator on Guam, I worked a few EB-66s.
