EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Vought Test Pilot team, comprised of Lt-Rts Boone Guyton, Charlie Sharpe, Dick Burroughs, Bill Boothby, and Lyman Bullard, on 28 May 1942. The team, dressed in their flight gear, are gathered around a SB2U Vindicator dive bomber, a mainstay of the United States Navy during World War II. With the backdrop of a hangar and the shadows of other planes, this image encapsulates the spirit of innovation, courage, and determination that defined the aviation industry during this pivotal time in history. The Vought Test Pilot team played a crucial role in the development and testing of new aircraft for the U.S. military during the 1940s. Their work contributed significantly to the success of the Navy's aviation program, particularly during the Second World War. The SB2U Vindicator, a single-engine, two-seat dive bomber, was one of the first monoplane aircraft to enter U.S. Navy service. It saw action in the Pacific Theater, providing crucial support for the U.S. forces in the Pacific. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and skill of the Vought Test Pilot team, who bravely pushed the limits of aviation technology to ensure the success of their military missions. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role that aviation played in shaping the outcome of the Second World War.
