This was the first product of the short-lived Brewster company. Advanced for its time, it could carry a 500 pound bomb internally and had a thousand-mile range. Production was transferred to the
Naval Aircraft Factory as the
SBN. The
NAF built 30 copies but they were obsolete by the time they entered service with the
US Navy. The
SBN-1 served with the
VB-3 squadron on board of the
USS Saratoga (CV-3) and with the
VT-8 squadron aboard the
USS Hornet (CV-8) before their retirement in 1942.
