Good ol' "Mack Truck" Bermuda!

Note the civil registration.

Brewster aircraft company - only vertical aircraft factory. They used the Holland Tunnel to bring the F2A's from Brooklyn to Newark airport for assembly and final check-out

Say what you want, Brewster made some attractive airplanes. She's no buffalo, but still....

USAAC roundels, an RAF fin flash, and a US civil registration. Boy, this one is confused!

I don't think the Bermuda is unattractive, certainly nicer looking than an SB2C IMHO. It would have been even better if that canopy had stopped about four feet sooner than it did though!

Brewster should have stayed with building custom bodies for luxury cars.

I remember seeing one of these in the woods at Tullahoma in the late 70’s

I can practically hear the rivet counters heads exploding with that one.

Mark, there is one in the Navy's Pensacola museum. It may be a RAF/USAAF A-34 Bermuda restored and painted as a USN SB2A-4 Buccaneer.

Still looks better than a Buffalo.

But not not as cool as the "Beast" (SB2C).
