Brewster SB2A

The Brewster SB2A Buccaneer was a single-engined mid-wing monoplane scout/bomber aircraft built for the United States Navy during the early 1940s. It was also supplied to the United States Army Air Corps. The SB2A was a development of Brewster's earlier SBA scout-bomber, sharing the single engined, mid-winged monoplane layout of the earlier aircraft, but was larger and powered by a more powerful engine.
