During the attack on one Japanese carriers, one squadron of SBDs were described as "glide bombing". This was Marine Corps squadron VMSB-241, which was flying from Midway Atoll. They had not been trained for the art of dive bombing and most of them were easily shot down. The only one of these Marine SDBs that is still in existence is at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. It is also the only surviving SBD from the Battle of Midway.
