Overview

The Brewster SB2A Buccaneer, also known as the Brewster Bermuda, is a single-engined mid-wing monoplane scout bomber aircraft built by the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation for the United States Navy between 1942 and 1944. It was also supplied to the Royal Air Force (RAF), United States Army Air Forces, and United States Marine Corps. The SB2A was overweight and lacked maneuverability, and has been described as a "classic failure". Although designed as a scout bomber, it never saw combat, but did find use in noncombat roles.
