    Not up on you Marvel Comics...They crossed Iron Man & Howard the Duck, and did a few issues of "Iron Duck".

    "A SBD-3 Dauntless ditches next to the USS Astoria (CA-34), June 4, 1942. "
    [​IMG]

    "U.S. Navy LCdr Maxwell F. Leslie, commanding officer of Bombing Squadron 3 (VB-3), ditches his Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless next to the heavy cruiser USS Astoria (CA-34) after successfully attacking the Japanese carrier Soryu during the Battle of Midway, 13:48 hrs, 4 June 1942. Leslie and his wingman Lt(jg) P.A. Holmberg ditched near Astoria due to fuel exhaustion, after their parent carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) was under attack by Japanese planes when they returned. Leslie, Holmberg, and their gunners were rescued by one of the cruiser's whaleboats. Note one of the cruiser's Curtiss SOC Seagull floatplanes on the catapult."

    There is just one - top center.

    There is a "thing" just above the workbus, but it is not an XSB2D - the wing stubs are straight, not gull-winged like they should be.
