Brewster Buccaneer.  It was supposed to be a dive bomber, but it had a dive limit of something like 225 mph.  Totally useless.  Brewster was put out of business by the government soon after this debacle.

right, Brewster Buccaneer.  Here is the caption for this photograph:

Philadelphia's Own, The Brewster Buccaneer in Formation
(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."
