Brewster SB2A Buccaneer
Dive bomber, developed by Brewster in parallel with the Curtiss SB2C. The two aircraft looked very similar. Handling and production problems caused two years delay, and the USN had no need for a new dive bomber when the SB2A was finally available. Many were used as target tugs, others were scrapped straight from the production line.
