We all know what a dog the Brewster F2A is generally considered to be, not least because of the godawful build quality and the slow production at Brewster.
So, what would it take for Grumman to start on the G-36 as a clean sheet for the Navy's 1935 requirement, instead of modifying the F3F?
What difference would it have made to the Navy, & to F2A export buyers, if the F4F had been chosen, instead?
Was there any chance F2As would still be sold to Finland & DEI?
