English: The Vought SB2U-2 Vindicator of the U.S. National Museum of Naval Aviation at Pensacola, Florida (USA), photographed in 1999. Official caption: "The last SB2U-2 delivered to the Navy, the museum's Vindicator joined the fleet in 1939, and logged flights with four squadrons. These included Bombing Squadron (VB) 4 and Scouting Squadron (VS) 41 on board the carrier Ranger (CV-4) and Fighting Squadron (VF) 71 on board Wasp (CV-7). Service in the former carrier in 1941 included duty on the Neutrality Patrol, tracking hostile vessels approaching the shores of the United States. Equipping VB-9, a squadron destined for service on board Essex (CV-9), the museum's SB2U-2 served to train squadron pilots on the deck of the auxiliary carrier Charger (ACV-30). The aircraft then transferred the Carrier Qualification Training Unit (CQTU) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Glenview, Illinois in May 1943, the following month heading out over the waters of Lake Michigan with Marine Second Lieutenant A.W. Lemmons in the cockpit. |
