Vengeance Is Ours: 1942
August 1942. "Nashville, Tennessee. Production of 'Vengeance' (V72) dive bombers. Assembly line at the Vultee Aircraft Corporation plant." Acetate negative by Jack Delano. View full size.
Vultee was busy
After the U.S. entry into WW2 Vultee's factory in Downey CA was busy building BT 13 Valliant trainers and so production for the V72 (also more commonly known as the A-31 and later an upgraded version A-35) was moved to the Stinson factory in Nashville. Most went to the RAF, RAAF, India, and the Free French. The A-31's were generally considered obsolete by the USAAF and those supplied to the U.S., were used for training not combat. By the end of production in 1944, 1,931 Vengeances had been built.
