  • World War II Warplanes As Cultural Heritage
    A Better Past Through Technology: World War II Warplanes as Cultural Heritage Kent Allen Wayland Knoxville, Tennessee B.A., Vanderbilt University, 1992 M.A., University of Virginia, 2000 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Virginia May, 2006 © Copyright by Kent Allen Wayland All Rights Reserved May 2006 i Abstract The restoration of World War II warplanes offers the chance to explore technology and history as cultural constructs in American culture. Beginning in the 1960's, several different groups began to collect these planes, called “warbirds,” and to fly them at airshows and public commemorations as a form of cultural heritage. This investigation merges actor network theory from the field of science & technology studies with anthropological work on cultural invention to examine how these warbird afficionados use their airplanes to invent a usable past. The past they invoke allows them not only to attract veterans who share their emotional stories of the war, but also to imagine the United States during the “Good War” as an ideal, militarized nation which should serve as a model for the present. This cultural invention occurs both at airshows, where the warbirds perform for the public, and in restoration and maintenance hangars, where both professionals and volunteers engage in craft labor. Both the sublime experience of the planes’ operation and the obsolete skills required for their maintenance evoke a better, simpler past for these afficionados. Such interactions with the aircraft foster an Industrial Romanticism which manages to embrace the discourse of technological progress as necessary while at the same time preserving a wistful sense that the passing of these piston-engined aircraft meant the loss of their own ability to understand and work on machines.

  • SB2C Helldiver
    SB2C Helldiver A-25 Shrike The XSB2C on its maiden flight Type Dive bomber Manufacturer Curtiss Fairchild (SBF) Canadian Car & Foundry (SBW) Maiden flight 18 December 1940 Introduced 11 November 1943 Retired 1959 (Italian Air Force) Primary users United States Navy U.S. Army Air Force French Air Force Royal Thai Air Force Produced 1940-1945 Number built 7,140 Developed from SBC Helldiver For the biplane, please see Curtiss Helldiver. The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was an American aircraft carrier-based dive bomber produced for the United States Navy during World War II. It replaced the Douglas SBD Dauntless in US Navy service. Despite its size, the SB2C was much faster than the SBD it replaced. Crew nicknames for the aircraft included the Big-Tailed Beast (or just the derogatory Beast), Two-Cee and Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class (after its designation and partly because of its reputation as a troublesome design)[1]. Although production problems persisted throughout its combat service, pilots soon changed their minds about the potency of the Helldiver. 1 Design and development Curtiss SB2C Helldiver in tricolor scheme SB2Cs in tricolor scheme (front) on the flight deck of USS Yorktown CV-10 in 1943 Curtiss SB2C Helldiver during take off A pilot and his gunner pose with their late model SB2C Helldiver after October 1944 SB2C Helldiver fails to catch the wire on landing and hits the first barrier, nose-diving into the deck (USS Hornet, July 3, 1944) The Helldiver was developed to replace the Douglas SBD Dauntless; it was a much larger aircraft able to operate from the latest aircraft carriers of the time and carry a considerable array of armament and featured an internal bomb bay that reduced drag when carrying heavy ordnance.
