SBD Dauntless aircraft aboard the carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) on 4 March 1942, en route to raid Marcus Island. The individual aircraft numbers are visible on both wings, along with the old-style national insignia featuring a 'red meatball' in the centre of the white star, still in use at this time. This marking was later removed in May 1942 to avoid confusion with Japanese insignia. The mission to Marcus Island was one of the early U.S. Navy offensive operations in the Pacific during World War II, showcasing the Dauntless's role in carrier-based strikes.
