Right now the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is restoring two
Dauntless SDBs that were recovered from Lake Michigan.
One is in parts and being prepared for the restoration. I've taken a bunch
of pictures of it. I have a question about antennas under the wings. Both
wings have what look like tv antennas, df antennas or simple yagis. It
doesn't look like the antennas rotate. Are they DF or navigational
antennas? Who wants to be first with the correct answer? Oh, it's not an
exam to be graded. I sure don't know the answer and won't be grading the
replies.

Here's a picture of one of the two antennas, Tom

Tom, They are NOT SDBs, but SBDs! SBD = "Scout Bomber Douglas"
