The USAAF used SBD-5s as the A-24B-DT Banshee (DT stands for Douglas and the Tulsa production facility). Flying from land based airfields, the aircraft had their tail hooks removed. The 407th Bomb Group undertook a short-lived combat deployment to Alaska during the summer of 1944. The Banshees received the standard USAAF camouflage of Olive Drab on the upper surfaces and Neutral Gray on the undersides. The insignias had a red outline and were of an unusually large size, converted from the simple star-and-disc originally applied to these aircraft by Douglas Aircraft
