Flying the Brewster SB2A: One of the worst planes in World War 2?
"Was the SB2A really 'one of the worst aircraft of World War II?' Check it out!" Zeno, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com Don't miss our "US Navy Bombers" DVD http://bit.ly/HW5LVa
Though this training film goes out of it's way to sing the Buccaneers praises, her flaws are all too obvious if you watch and listen carefully. The SB2A is a prime example of how a design that looked good on paper in 1939 was woefully lacking by 1941. Between the drawing board and the production line, the SB2A put on substantial additional weight that overwhelmed her 1,700 horse power engine and outdated the air frame, resulting in a ship that proved to be slow, sluggish and with unpleasant handling qwerks. Though many other stats appear comparable to the Grumman TBF on paper, her inferior wing area, and real world performance put her way behind the Avenger. After delivery to the Navy, the Buccaneer was quickly relegated to pilot training duty.
