Brazil employed the Gordon as a general-purpose reconnaissance, bombing, and support aircraft, with a small floatplane element.

Question

What did Brazil use the Fairey Gordon for?

Short answer

Brazil used it for reconnaissance, bombing, and general support, chiefly from land bases but with a few floatplane-configured aircraft.

Notes

Brazil used its imported Fairey Gordons as general-purpose aircraft for reconnaissance, bombing, and support of land forces. Most operated from land bases, although some could be fitted as floatplanes. An adaptable but unexceptional interwar type could remain useful to a customer needing several missions from a small fleet.
