WWII B&W Selection Box - 2nd Serving

[F3]

Seeing as it's Xmas here's a second serving from the tin of USAAC recognition slides I found in my late father's garage. Two rarities are the pre-war Martin B-10 bombers (predecessor to the B-17 in USAAC service) and the Brewster Buccaneer, which I had nt even heard of before coming across this slide. Apparently it was about as successful as the better known Buffalo but the British Purchasing Commission placed a substantial order for the type (called the Bermuda in RAF service) for which no use could be found, unlike the P-40 (called the Kittyhawk by the RAF) and the Avenger which gave useful service. The Baltimore, Mariner and AT-6 were also operated by the RAF, the last being named the Harvard.

My Dad flew Baltimores then Bostons, as the RAF named the Havoc in North Africa.
