The Douglas A-24 (Dauntless) light dive bomber, is the Army counterpart of the Navy SBD, with certain modifications to meet Army requirements. It was designed for dive-bombing operations against ground troops and installations. It is equipped with slotted diving flaps to decrease air speed and obtain greater accuracy. The Dauntless is more maneuverable than the German Stuka and is capable of carrying heavier bomb loads
