VMSB-236 SBD-5
« on: August 14, 2023, 02:38:09 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin, which was a request from Devil.

This SBD-5 was flown by 1st Lt. Frank McFadden of Marine Squadron VMSB-236. He flew 113 missions over the Philippines in this aircraft and once survived an AA hit which blew a three foot hole in the left hand tail.

Big "E" for excellence.   Just stunning. The lighter blue really has a metallic sheen to it.
