Although this truck, parked amid Napa Valley's many vineyards, looks at first glance to perhaps having been active in fruit picking or fire-and-rescue work, it was actually part of the equipment used to drill in the earth for the area's plentiful irrigation

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
