October 15th, 1942 — Guadalcanal hung by a thread. A small squadron of SBD Dauntless dive bombers launched into history, facing a Japanese convoy racing to crush Henderson Field. Armed with precision, courage, and innovation, 18 Marines flew into the teeth of anti-aircraft fire — and changed the course of the Pacific War.
This is the untold story of how the Douglas SBD Dauntless turned desperation into dominance, how “Swiss-cheese” dive brakes became the most feared weapon in the Pacific, and how a handful of pilots stopped an invasion that could have changed everything.
From the skies above Guadalcanal to the blazing decks of the Imperial Navy, discover how one mission redefined air power, strategy, and survival.
