Confederate Airforce Airshow in the 1980's
This beast is an SB2C Helldiver. It was fitted with two .50 Cal. guns, one in each wing. The radioman/gunner had a pair of .30 Cal. guns. The greenhouse slid forward and the turtleback folded down giving the gunner a pretty good sweep with his guns. The aircraft could carry two 500 Lb. bombs, one under each wing. The main load was carried internally in the bomb bay. Inspite of how big this aricraft is, it was based about aircraft carriers.
Sorry about the grain. Canon F-1, Canon 85mm Lens, Plus-X Film, I printed it on DW, RC, VC Paper with the enlarger tuned to a normal contrast. I couldn't do anything about the grain.
