Curtiss XSB3C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Curtiss XSB3C was to be an enlarged version of the SB2C Helldiver aircraft carrier-based dive bomber with tricycle landing gear. It was cancelled due to continuing problems with the SB2C and because the projected increase in performance was not considered sufficient.
