A Curtiss SBC-3 (Curtiss Model 77A) biplane from VS-6 off USS Enterprise pictured as she flies past Sims Class Destroyer USS Mustin,Pacific Ocean,May 1940.
The major difference between the prototype XSBC-3 and the production aircraft was the engine. A contract for 83 aircraft was signed in August 1936 and deliveries began on July 17th 1937. The production aircraft were powered by an 825 hp Pratt & Whitney R-1535-94 fourteen-cylinder, twin-row, air-cooled engine driving a three-blade propeller. Armament consisted of two 0.30-caliber machine guns, one fixed gun in the right side of the fuselage forward of the pilot and a flexible gun in the rear cockpit. The aircraft had a bomb displacement swing located on the centreline of the fuselage for a 500-lb bomb or a 45-U.S.gallon fuel tank.
