Brewster Buccaneer

Thu May 03, 2007 12:27 am

Anyone interested in seeing some circa 1943 photos of the Brewster Buccaneer? I have a bunch, some with identical markings matching exactly the marking on the previously posted photo of the Buccaneer in the museum. These are Brewster Aeronautical "Confidental" photos. I can't for the life of remember where I got them. Some flying, some releasing bombs and some on the ground. Just got a scanner and I'll post if there is any interest.
