The Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless, the stalwart US Navy carrier, was a symbol of bravery and resilience in the skies. These dive bombing planes were known for their unwavering determination to "Keep em Flying" during intense battles. One particular aircraft, the Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless NX670AM, stood out among its peers. On that fateful day over the Pacific on 26 June, a pair of Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless soared through the clouds with grace and precision. Their synchronized flight was captured in a stunning colour litho titled "Back to Back Stood the Dauntless Two. " It showcased their strength and unity as they faced adversity together. But dauntlessness wasn't limited to just military exploits. In an engraving depicting scenes from "A Sailor's Knot" at Drury Lane Theatre, Wapping Old Stairs, we see how this quality extended beyond war zones. HMS Dauntless leaving Miraflores locks in Panama Canal exemplified courage even amidst unfamiliar waters. The spirit of dauntlessness also found expression in yacht races across vast oceans. The Ocean Yacht-Race between the Dauntless and Cambria had spectators on edge as they witnessed these vessels battle against each other's might (engraving). Similarly, when American yachts Coronet and Dauntless raced across the Atlantic for supremacy (engraving), it was clear that only those with indomitable spirits could conquer such treacherous waters. Even closer to home at New York's Queens Cup Yacht Race (engraving), or during International Yacht-Races where Livonia and Dauntless braved gales ("A Man Overboard. "), it was evident that true champions possessed unyielding resolve. In every context – be it military aviation or oceanic competitions – dauntlessness prevailed as a driving force behind remarkable achievements.
