Helldiver was a deathtrap, design flaws, as I remember reading

ive heard about the flaws, the dive flaps would jam or something, and it would be hard to pull out of a dive, basically it was a divebomber who couldnt dive.

didnt they find two crashed helldivers in the states last year? i remember reading about it but cant remember the state. (maybe pennsylvania)
