Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldiver: The front canopy came off this Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldiver while it was in flight, injuring pilot Herbert H. Hoover, but he recovered the plane back to the NACA at Langley Field. SB2Cs were license-built by Fairchild as SBFs and by Canadian Car and Foundry as SBWs. Helldivers were also flown by the British and Australians.
