The Vought SB2U-2 Vindicator, also known as the V-156 Chesapeake, was an American carrier-based dive bomber produced by Vought for the United States Navy, with exports to France and Great Britain. These aircraft played an important role during the early years of World War II, being used, among others, during the Battle of Midway by the Americans as well as in operational actions by the French Navy and the Royal Navy. The French versions bore the designation V-156-F and served in the naval air force, mainly in the Alprech area during the winter of 1939/1940. The British variant, designated Chesapeake (V-156-B1), was used by 811 RAF Squadron based at Lee-on-Solent in 1941.
