Summary[edit]

Description A U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldiver of Bombing Squadron Seventeen (VB-17) pictured after losing its tail during recovery aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) during operations in the Caribbean in 1943. The first squadron to recive the Helldiver, VB-17 experienced some growing pains with the type, losing numerous aircraft while operating from shore and aboard USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) during the carrier's shakedown cruise. While flying from Bunker Hill on 11 November 1943, the squadron introduced the aircraft to combat during a raid on Rabaul, and continued flying missions from the carrier until March 1944.
