The SBU-2

The SBU was one of several aircraft named “Corsair” by its manufacturer, Vought. A speedy scout bomber when it entered service in the mid-30s, the SBU was soon overtaken by the lightning-fast changes in aviation of that era.  Even so, it stayed around as a trainer well into WWII.  Serving in that role, the aircraft seen here, BuNo 811, crashed in 1943.
