A very rare Brewster Bermuda built for the Royal Air Force but cancelled before delivery. Diverted to the US Army Air Corps, it was among several Bermudas scrapped at Tullahoma, TN and abandoned. Recovered by David Tallichet / Yesterday's Air Force, the remains were eventually traded to the National Museum of Naval Aviation for a Grumman Wildcat. Restored by 60 former Brewster Aircraft employees it has been put on display at Pensacola in US Navy markings as a SB2A-1 Buccaneer.

HO5S was the navy designation for the S-52 and 87 examples were procured for the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. Although it was used in Korea as a scout, observation and medevac helicopter the HO5S was always something of a stopgap until the more advanced designs that superseded it came along. Now on display at the fantastic national Naval Aviation Museum.

Surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, this Dauntless went on to sink a Japanese warship on Mar 10, 1942 and participate in the Battle of Midway. Transferred to training duties at NAS Glenview, IL, it crashed into Lake Michigan June 11, 1943 while attempting to land aboard USS Sable. Recovered in January 1994 and restored, the historic Navy aircraft is now displayed in the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, FL.

US Navy Patrol bomber. Composite aircraft rebuilt by Hawkins & Powers at Greybull, using major sections from N2870G (s/n 66304), N7962C (s/n 59882) and N3431G (s/n 66313). Even though most of the fuselage by far came from N3431G, the resulting composite airframe was wrongly given the ID of 66304 / N2870G, presumably for easier paperwork for the delivery flight from Greybull to the museum.
