> If there is no glass behind the rear seat when the canopy is closed it
sounds an awful lot like the SBD Dauntless dive bomber.  Now SBD is the
Navy nomenclature and most of the aircraft were used by the Navy.
However, the Army Air Corps did operate this aircraft as the A-24.

Close but no sale. The unidentified plane has the slope of the rear of
the cockpit slope uphill to the fusilage at a more gradual angle than
for the A-24. In this case, Google was not much help. Lots and lots
of diversions, but no one place I found with a lot of photos in order.
