Brewster Fighter Production, 1939-1942

Customers had different definition of acceptance, so delivery dates are representative, indicating the point at which ownership passed from Brewster Aeronautical Corp. to the customer. In the case of foreign orders, delivery took one or two months. (None of the Belgian 339s reached that country.) Spares not included; see below -- Jim Maas
