English: U.S. Navy Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless of Scouting Squadron 6 (VS-6) in flight. This is a composite photograph of nine planes in flight, with the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) and a plane guard destroyer below. The original photo is dated 27 October 1941. Note the differences in ocean surface wave patterns between the upper and lower images, skillfully blended to combine the two photographs.
