From acceptance in 1944 this Helldiver flew with VB-84 and then VB-14/USS Wasp but in May 1945 ditched in Otay Lake, CA after engine failure. The crew were saved but it was not until 2010 that the wreckage was recovered. The major restoration project has only recently been completed

1942: Purchased by USAAF for RAF as Bermuda 1.This plane was ferried to Tullahoma, TN to turn over to the RAF. After the RAF accepted the plane it crashed in a swamp just after takeoff. The pilot got out but the plane was left there. In 1974 David Tallichet found it and recovered it for his collection. He decided to donate it to the Navy and in 1978 it was taken to the Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, PA, for restoration by 60 ex-Brewster employees. Ownership was transferred to the Naval Aviation Museum in 2004. Restoration was completed in 2007 to represent a Navy SB2A-1 Buccaneer

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.
