The factory photos in the first batch were taken just a mile or so from where I work. The Douglas/Tulsa plant is still in use, though not for its original purpose, and it looks pretty much the same on the outside today as it did in these pictures. You can see the pilot B-24 line in a couple of the pictures. When the A-24 order of 615 airframes was complete the plant went into full B-24 production, followed by the A-26 in 1944.
Two of the four airworthy SBD-type aircraft are actually A-24s.
The father of a co-worker of mine was a member of the 3rd Attack Group, 8th Squadron during the time when they were flying the A-24s in combat early in the Pacific war.
Great subject!
