Between the World Wars, America was able to make much progress in its military technology. One fine example of this was the Curtiss F8C-1 Helldiver, the first production Navy aircraft designed for dive bombing. The biplane soon replaced the DH-4 Liberty Plane. The Helldiver could pull off steep dives upon target ships, dropping a single 500-pound bomb or twin 116-pound bombs. At the time, the plane was the only two-seat aircraft in the Navy's fighter squadrons. Some, like those delivered to the carrier U.S.S. Saratoga in August 1930 were welcome additions to the ship's arsenal. The plane could hit targets far out at sea and return to the carrier. The importance of its part in aircraft development cannot be denied since sea-launched planes would play a crucial role in the coming Second World War.
