However its roots goes further than that. Predecessor of SBD, Northrop BT-1 was designed in 1935, in 1937 Northrop Corporation was taken over by Douglas and Northrop BT-2, developed from BT-1 served as a basis of what was to be SBD. In 1938, US Navy and US Marine Corps placed order for a new dive bomber designated SBD-1 and SBD-2. SBD-1 was delivered to Marines in 1940 and SBD-2 to Navy in early 1941 replacing obsolete SBU Corsair and SBC Helldiver carrier based dive bombers. The SBD unusual for carrier aircraft, did not possesed folding wings, designers opted for integral strenght of the plane instead. Next version, SBD-3 had increased armour protection, self-sealing fuel tanks, and the rear gunner´s 7.62 mm Browning M1919 machine gun was double mounted instead of a single mount on previous aircraft. Most produced version of SBD was SBD-5, over 2400 of these were built, equipped with more powerful 1200 hp Wright R-1820-60 Cyclone engine and increased ammo supply. US Army Air Force used denavalized variant of SBD, called A-24 Banshee. These were flown during early stages of war, and quickly withdrawn from service.</ins></div></td></tr>
