Brewster Buccaneers

Thought you all would like to see a nice shot of some Buccaneers at NAS Memphis in Fall 1943. More than likely these are part of the planes left there
and later recovered. Maybe one is the Navy Museum's?

Great photo! However, these most likely aren't the Tullahoma planes - those are RAF birds that somehow ended up at the USAAF base. In the July 1973 Air Classics article "British Boneyard in the Tennessee Hills", by Pony Maples, one is showing RAF roundels and fin flash, and serial number FF-860.
