Douglas SBD Dauntless coded Y15 that appears being used to tow targets for aerial gunnery practice. Note a thin line extending from beneath the rudder, although that seems like an odd place to attach a tow line; uncertain what the device is beneath the wing. The USAAF A-24 version of the SBD was used as a target tug, but this aircraft appears to be in the standard US Navy three-tone scheme and retains the standard USN hard tail wheel, while the Army version used a pneumatic-tired tail wheel, and it also does not have a tail hook, which was removed on the Army version.
