"Dauntless Against a Rising Sun"
by
William S. Phillips
Two SBD-3's, S-9 and S-11, of VS-5, flyhing from the Yorktown are set against the dark clouds of war and a rising sun - the symbol of the Japanese empir. Only in this case, the sun is symbolic of hope, and the dawn of a new day and era, as the tide turns in the Pacific at the Battle of Midway in June of 1942. The name of this painting, Dauntless Against a Rising Sun captures the spirit of the U.S. forces in those dark days after the initial Japanese victories in the Pacific.
