The main thing is that the pilot and instructor were safe and no one was injured in the landing.

Actually it is a single engine dive bomber, the SBD Dauntless. A Carrier based plane flown by Naval aviators in WW2.

As far as I know, there is only one SBD Dauntless that is flying in existence. It belongs to the Lone Star Museum of Flight in Galveston, Texas.

According to the MAPS website, they don't have the Dauntless anymore.  It noticed that they are restoring a Martin B26. The CAF had the only flying B26 in existence till it crashed on a test hop near Midland several years ago.  All on board were killed.  When MAPS get the B26 done, it will be the only flying B26 .

As far as I know they never built a 2 seat version. A bunch of that aerial footage was from the "Battle Of Britain" movie. A cameraman could sit in the back seat and film.
