Helldiver?
I don't know what answer Za Rodinu was going to give to this, but this is not strictly-speaking a Navy SB2C Helldiver, but (given its unit, 13FS, and its olive drab colouring) it is the Army version which was known as the A25A Shrike. However, most Shrikes were in fact given to the USMC where they reverted to the SB2C designation.

Za Rodinu will become famous soon enough
That's entirely correct, Adrian, I was trying to see how many people would go for the SB2C* and not notice the Olive Drab paint

Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Never seen that pic before but she looks like an A-26 Invader, maybe the prototype as she looks a little different. Early B-26 Marauders had a "dumpty" wingspan. Wish I could make the pic bigger to get a look at that canopy.
