Brewster Bucaneer? Dunno where it served, but it was a PoS.

Philadelphia's Own, The Brewster Buccaneer

(Approved for release by: Official Censor, Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department)
"BATTLE BOUND: Brewster Buccaneer dive bombers, in ever increasing squadrons, are moving into action with the United States Fleet. These Navy war planes, with their
blinding speed, withering fire power, tremendous bomb loads and jackrabbit
maneuverability, are just so much more bad news for the Axis war lords."

Brewster Buccaneer, the machine that forced the Brewster Company into liquidation.  I cant tell which countries roundel that is on the side, Dutch perhaps?  Belgian?

This is probably a Brit SB2A-2. They called it the Bermuda.

My regards,
