Summary
[edit]
| Description | The first U.S. Navy, SBN-1 scout bomber (BuNo 1522) produced by the Naval Aircraft Factory, in flight over Washington D.C. on 12 February 1942. Manufactured between 1940 and 1942, the SBN was the production version of the XSBA-1 designed by Brewster in 1934. The prototype flew in 1936, and in 1938 thirty SBN-1's were ordered from NAF. Never used in combat, the SBN served as a "stateside" trainer. It equipped Torpedo Squadron 8 (VT-8) in 1941 while that squadron was working up before reporting on board the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8). The SBN illustrated is wearing the overall light gray pre-World War II camouflage ordered on 30 December 1940 and used until October 1941. |
