Naval Aircraft Factory SBN
The SBN was a three-place mid-wing monoplane scout bomber built by the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its design was patterned after the Brewster XSBA-1 of 1935. The landing gear was similar to that on the Brewster F2A fighters. The SBN had rigid, i.e., not folding, wings with perforated flaps.
Obsolescent before their delivery in 1941, the thirty aircraft were used in organizing Torpedo Squadron Eight in 1941 and then passed on for use as trainers.
