A total of 5,936 SBD/A-24s were delivered between 1940 and the end of production in July 1944. The SBD Dauntless featured "Swiss cheese" flaps dive brakes punched with 3-inch holes so that it could achieve pinpoint accuracy by diving to the target, dropping the bomb and then pulling out of the near-vertical dive. In addition to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Army Air Forces, the Dauntless served forces in New Zealand and Mexico.
