This color scheme represents a Dauntless SBD-1 delivered to the First Marine Air Group in 1940.
The Blue trim designates her as a member of VMB-2.
Like her red-headed sisters of VMB-1, she flew out of Quantico, VA. until being re-painted with a more "tactical" color scheme and sent to Pearl Harbor just before the outbreak of WW2.
Enjoy.
