HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless, Bureau Number 3232, marked S-7, was flown by Lieutenant (junior grade) Norman “Dusty” Kleiss of Scouting Squadron Six (VS-6) aboard the USS Enterprise during the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. The Dauntless was the U.S. Navy’s primary carrier-based dive bomber at the time, and despite being slower and less modern than some of its contemporaries, it had already proven its worth in the early months of the Pacific War. With a robust airframe, excellent diving characteristics, and a deadly 1,000 lb bomb load, the SBD became a decisive weapon in halting Japanese expansion across the Pacific.
During the climactic morning strikes of June 4, Kleiss and his fellow Dauntless pilots located and attacked the Japanese carrier Kaga. Diving steeply from altitude under intense anti-aircraft fire, Kleiss released his bomb with precision, scoring a direct hit. His attack contributed to the destruction of Kaga, one of four Japanese carriers sunk during the battle. Later that day, he struck again, delivering another devastating hit on the carrier Hiryu. Kleiss became the only dive bomber pilot at Midway to score confirmed hits on two different Japanese carriers in a single day, an achievement that cemented his place in aviation history.
The success of Kleiss and his squadron mates marked a turning point in the Pacific War. The Battle of Midway decisively shifted the balance of naval power, crippling Japan’s carrier force and giving the U.S. Navy the strategic initiative. SBD-3 BuNo. 3232, like other Dauntlesses at Midway, symbolized the courage and skill of U.S. naval aviators, demonstrating that well-trained pilots and reliable aircraft could overcome even the most formidable adversary. The Dauntless would continue to serve effectively until the end of the war, remembered above all for its vital role in securing victory at Midway.
This 1:32 scale model meticulously recreates the aircraft as it appeared on June 4, 1942, complete with Scouting Six markings and battle-weathered detailing. A centerpiece for any World War II aviation collection, it honors one of the most decisive missions in naval history and the pilot whose precision helped change the course of the Pacific War.

Is this the one for you? It was for me!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Okay so if you are like me and shop last minute before a major event then this is perfect. I went through pages and pages on here to find a bag that let's be honest here will only be used once and put away. So I decided on this one because of the style and color as it will go perfectly with my emerald green dress that I am wearing to my bestie's son's wedding literally next month. The size is perfect and the quality is on point. Yes the bag is a little stiff when opening for the first time but if you plan to use this constantly then it should be more pliable over time. This will hold what I intend to take with me which is just the basics so the functionality will be great and the fact that it travels well is another point for this evening bag. Big value for the money and easy to use. If you like it buy it, if not find one that suits your needs and style and budget. This is a keeper.

Beware of the smell
Color: Black
Starting with the likes about this product: 1. Beautiful design 2. Large enough for my cell phone 3. Most important it matched my HEEZ Women's Ballet Flats Shoes Now for the dislikes: 1. The chemical smell coming from the bag was soooo strong my eyes watered and my nose burned just a little. There is no way I could carry this purse with out that smell wafting through the air. IT WAS THAT STRONG. 2. The flap was a little stiff to bend, so closing was a little hard to get it in position. I'm sure if you opened and closed it a few time it would loosen up. Bottom line I only gave it a 3 star because of the smell and I am retuning it. Not sure if you air out the bag for a few days if the smell would go away but I didn't want to risk it.
